Leap 42.3: works

TW: won't boot - rainbow screen (see release date!)

Leap 15.0: won't boot - rainbow screen!

raspberrypi-firmware:
=====================
Leap 42.3: too old
https://opensuse.pkgs.org/42.3/opensuse-oss/raspberrypi-firmware-2016.09.02-4.1.noarch.rpm.html
TW: dead link!
https://opensuse.pkgs.org/tumbleweed/opensuse-oss/raspberrypi-firmware-2018.03.13-1.1.noarch.rpm.html
Leap 15.0: the only choice
https://opensuse.pkgs.org/15.0/opensuse-oss/raspberrypi-firmware-2018.03.13-lp150.2.1.noarch.rpm.html

Was happy to see agraf's changelog from 2018-03-14:
- Update to 3347884 (2018-03-13)
- Add support for new RPi3 B+ (bsc#1085262)

So we have a mess with u-boot.bin (=Leap 42.3) and raspberrypi-firmware (=Leap 15.0), that enables the sd-card starting on a RPi3 B+!
How to continue?
Download the Leap 42.3 ISO (or the Tumbleweed ISO, or the Leap 15.0 ISO)?

All installations made with kernel command line "modprobe.blacklist=vc4", as recommended.

Started with TW ISO on USB key:
openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-aarch64-Snapshot20180622.iso
- Installation starts, left me with a black background and a white mouse-cursor when switching to graphical part.

Leap 15.0:
openSUSE-Leap-15.0-DVD-aarch64-Build124.1.iso
- dto.

Leap 42.3:
- openSUSE-Leap-42.3-DVD-aarch64-Build0200-Media.iso
Installation process starts, but wants to prepare the USB key (itself) for installation instead of mmcblk0 (sd card). Trying to adapt the partition scheme from USB0 -> mmc with expert setting fails (system hanging)!

How to go on?

Any help appreciated!
THX in advance.
