## Observation I did a manual installation on my RPi 3 without any issue. It looks like a setup issue on openQA. ## Observation openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP6-JeOS-for-RaspberryPi-aarch64-jeos-realhw-RPi@RPi3B fails in [prepare_firstboot](http://openqa.suse.de/tests/14611275/modules/prepare_firstboot/steps/1) ## Test suite description Run a test on real RPi hardware. To be used eg. with RPi4 machine. Setup: https://confluence.suse.com/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=~dheidler&title=Hardware+Automation ## Reproducible Fails since (at least) Build [6.75](http://openqa.suse.de/tests/14611275) (current job) ## Expected result Last good: [6.74](http://openqa.suse.de/tests/14596088) (or more recent) ## Suggestions * Look into what was found in #158404 which was about the last time this test failed ~1 month ago * This looks to be failing sporadically only? Try and reproduce it - take care to only run first_reboot to avoid reflashing the disk * Meanwhile the scenario is ok again but we want to improve. The call `select_console('root-ssh')` establishes an ssh connection within the os-autoinst backend and as visible in https://openqa.suse.de/tests/14266260/logfile?filename=autoinst-log.txt there is already retrying but seemingly *only* 5 times up to 1m, not longer. We should ensure that there are longer retries with exponential backoff up to let's say 30m * Add exponential retry in https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/backend/baseclass.pm#L1211 * Consider using a higher value than 5 for the specific test scenario or machine related to RPi ## Further details Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](http://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?arch=aarch64&distri=sle&flavor=JeOS-for-RaspberryPi&machine=RPi3B&test=jeos-realhw-RPi&version=15-SP6)
