I tried penguins eggs and created a iso that failed to boot.
Live script failed.
Exton failed after update
What worked was refracta tool snapshot which I copied from my devuan installation and pasted into tumbleweed.
Perfect result every time, a bootable usb of my home computer
Also used a version of refracta installer to install in under 5 minutes without any questions to answer
I am using a kernel compiled not to use initramfs or initrd so the the copy works on everything we have. about a dozen machines so far
Hope this is useful to someone
Are all the machines the same type of hardware? So you are using Tumbleweed with a sort of custom kernel? This is interesting and thanks for sharing.
Can you provide some more details about this perhaps?
all are intel or amd, nucs, laptops, mini-itx, old box. yes custom kernel i created.
the refracta tools files in /etc and /usr/bin and /usr/lib
including xorriso
This seems complex to me. How are you negotiating kernel parameters and video drivers on the different hardware? Do you have to do some setup work on the machine after you initiate and complete refracta installer? How are you negotiating software updates after provisioning the machines?
none of that, run refractasnapshot
burn to usb
refractainstall
boot
you are welcome to use the yast installer if you want the standard kernel and initramfs of opensuse.
My kernel does not care what hardware it is on as it boots in discovery mode as linus torvalds intended. takes under a second to load the modules it chooses.
