Hey all! Just kicking the tires on the new Elemental on Raspberry Pi instructions. One quick piece of feedback, when I was using a newer LG 4k monitor, the screen would go black toward the end of the Elemental boot process and would not come back. I switched to an older (not 4k) Dell monitor and the screen comes back at that part of the boot process. I'm assuming a driver or resolution issue but just wanted to throw it out there for those working on the new releases of the TEAL Elemental for Pi. Thanks!

thanks for the feedback. To be transparent, I don't think we're going to pursue hard to have video / hdmi support. Our purpose is rather to achieve headless installs, deployments and management

Sure. That's understandable. However, until it's far enough along in the boot process and you can SSH into the Pi, it is useful in troubleshooting startup issues. I know the first time I tried burning the ISO to USB, there was an issue and the SLE Micro didn't get far enough along to SSH.

you can use the console access, provided you have the suitable cable

I'm doing it under Linux, so I'll be able to share Linux oriented instructions if that helps

I'm using a Mac, but yes this all helps if you have anything else to share.

some of the instructions are similar. Not sure about the drivers though (it's included with openSUSE)
https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/raspberry-pi-cables/7676200 like this cable, but that's a very expensive price

Thank you! Did you see my other post in this channel? Curious if you or anyone else has any thoughts as to why it's failing to register the Pi as machine inventory. I was able to successfully do this with a VirtualBox VM node but not the Pi following the new Pi instructions.

Kernel crash on Raspberry is a driver/kernel problem: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196855 😞
