Hi,

Here are some information about openSUSE on ARM.

* Firstly,, the good news:
- openSUSE 13.1 image for Raspberry Pi is now bootable (no need to resize the 
FAT boot partition anymore.).
- Chromebook images are now able to boot after the first boot.

* The problems :
- Qemu images (armv6l and aarch64) are broken when parted is used with a 
"Invalid type 0x9" error message. Andreas, you may help here according to this 
thread: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2014-01/msg00090.html
- Factory Chromebook image boots u-boot but nothing append then (no display, no 
SD resize).
- Factory E17 and XFCE images are unresolvable due to missing icedtea-web. It 
seems it has been dropped from factory. Is it really the case? If so, I can 
update the image packagelist.
- armv7l factory images are not bootable (fail in initrd) because MMC modules 
are not loaded in the initrd due to a dependency loop. Should be fixed in next 
kernel update thanks to the Matwey patches: 
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2014-06/msg00000.html
- But latest armv7l kernels from Kernel:HEAD are broken: 
https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/Kernel:HEAD but fixes should be on 
the way.
- Some images are not xz compressed before publishing (13.1 Raspberry Pi, 
Factory Chromebook, maybe more).
