My arm board doesn't have support for neon instructions and trying to use openSUSE 13.1 on it ends up with illegal instruction error. It was discussed on the mailing list some time ago and solution was found:

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2013-11/msg00058.html

unfortunatelly during transition to the release, important part went missing. To get this issue fixed multiarch has to be enabled for arm as well.

As arm is not primary architecture, not really sure where and how to send the fix so it wouldn't trigger updates on other architectures.

Reproducible: Always

Multiarch is already enabled.
Comment 2 Michal Hrusecky 2014-06-25 13:24:48 UTC
In 13.1 it is enabled for
   ppc ppc64 %{ix86} x86_64 sparc sparc64 s390 s390x
not for
   %arm
but I see that it is enabled in devel project, so this would be probably bug for openSUSE @ ARM maintainer?
Comment 3 Andreas Schwab 2014-06-25 13:31:28 UTC
Multiarch is automatically enabled when available.
Comment 4 Dirk Mueller 2016-03-11 16:06:56 UTC
I remember that this was fixed in newer glibcs (the dependency on neon). thanks for the report!
