Installation Issue with openSUSE Image from SD Card

[opensusenivasnaik]

I flashed the following openSUSE DVD image onto an SD card and attempted to install it onto the hard disk of our board, which uses UFS as the storage medium. The goal is to perform an offline installation from the SD card to the hard disk.

However, the installation consistently fails with a “No repository found” error. I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions to help resolve this issue.

How did you do it?

[opensusenivasnaik]

Thanks for the quick response using, i flashed it using dd command.
dd if=/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-aarch64-Current.iso of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=4M

Go to terminal and check whether SD card is detected. It is possible that the installation image lacks the necessary driver.

SD card is getting deteced, I can see /dev/mmcblk1p1 and /dev/mmcblk1p2 listed.

@opensusenivasnaik UFS is not supported anymore, you would likely need to some image foo to enable it…

I can see /dev/sdb, /dev/sdd etc in “Choose Hard Disk Partition” menu, these are ufs partitions.
Can we install openSUSE from a DVD image flashed on SD card on the device storage without network access? Will be very helpful if there are detailed steps on how to do this.

Can you also mount them? And you are doing it in the booted installer, not some other live system, are not you?
