I followed the instructions there but that only got me a few lines further before the same error kicked in again. I also tried tumbleweed which crashed with a slightly different error. However I guess tumbleweed doesn’t support power8 anymore but leap 15 should as far as I could find out.
So right now that means no SUSE for me. What can i do to get this working?
So the 15.5 and 15.6 installers are indeed broken. According to the report 15.4 was fine. As of yesterday the fix was still not applied to the 15.6 iso.
After a couple of tries I can confirm that leap 15.4 and older don’t have this problem. An online upgrade to 15.6 works as well.
A warning though, btrfs snapshots don’t work. If you enable that, booting the installed os afterwards fails and you end up with a crippled emergency prompt where nothing works. That aside it seems to work fine.
Tumbleweed is also affected by this and just like the leap 15.6 iso, the current snapshot isos don’t have the fix applied yet either.
