This statement was about the 8GB card.
The 32 GB card does have OH installed but it’s not running.
That’s my major issue and debugging is this was I currently try.
So I left it do its thing without touching it and I got to zram install.

It looks to be a hardware issue with the Kernel so not a openhabian issue but it is failing.
Heard about this from someone else seem to be specific about 8GB RPi
(never a good idea to use latest’n greatest, in particular when it comes to HW you cannot change)
Try zraminstall=disable in /boot/openhabian.conf
I installed a new Raspi4 with 8 GB RAM from scratch.
When installing ZRAM using openhabian-config tool I got:
Internal error: Oops: 207 [#1] SMP ARM
…and I got the same kernel messages as described by @denominator.
Is this related to the 8GB RAM?
Thanks.
I did this and the zram messages disappeared.

The only thing catching my mind is
/var/lib/openhab2/tmp/karaf.pid (Permission denied)
Because I deleted tmp before, shouldn’t the file karaf.pid be created on the new start?
Try permissions corrections from the openhabian-config menu. If that does not work chown/chmod -R the tmp and cache dirs.
It’s likely because you started OH as root.
In SSH run the sudo openhabian-config menu
Then unistall zram then openhab will start.
Thank you.
I did this after starting up with @mstormi recommendation using
zraminstall=disable in /boot/openhabian.conf to be on the safe side 
I still get the
[org.apache.karaf.main.Main] - Could not launch framework
Anyway, maybe I messed the installation up too much and will do ut again with a new image with your recommendation (@mstormi & @denominator).
Thanks to both of you for your great support.
EDIT:
Actually this seems to work so far (OH is running).
Now another rookie question:
I always used to do a restart of OH after significant changes like this:
sudo systemctl restart openhab2.service
Does this mean starting as root is not a good idea?
If so, how to do it instead?
I have a similar problem with my rasp. When I reboot, it normally start but without ethernet connection and if I take off and put back the ethernet cable it load normally the ip from the dhcp. I though it was because I updated the firmware to a Stable version to boot on SSD. I solved the problem adding a reset command on /etc/rc.local
(sleep 30s; ethtool -r eth0;) &
I read somewhere that it could be an hardware issue or a not good power supply but I have an original power supply and never had this problem before to boot from USB
So you mean with a RPi 4?
Thanks, I will try this.
Do not ever do this interactively.
Let the OS handle it for you => systemctl [start|status|stop] openhab2
Yes, sorry, I use a raspberry 4, 4GB. But you say you have black screen, so your rasp don’t (re)boot. I had your problem with a raspberry 3 with a usb-sata adapter. I solved changing the adapter
Thanks, it turned out, that the major issue was potentially the zram problem with 8GB.
At least since deactivation of zram a reboot worked (at least once) - which did never work before (200+ attempts)
Thanks for jumping in with your feedback though!
sorry for the stupid question , but isn’t this the same like:
sudo systemctl start openhab2.service
Because your command above requires sudo execution as well.
yes it is.
but you said you ran openhab-cli start. That you mustn’t.
Alright - got it. Thank you.
I just tried whatever to start OH
But I only used:
sudo systemctl start openhab2.service
in the past.
By the way:
OH starts properly with both of your recommendations:
and
Now I will try to reestablish my things, items and such.
Again - thank you for your patience with me and your tremendous help.
Any upcoming issues along the way I will post here (of course)
Ok I have done some poking around and now have zram working. (I think)
I installed the v1.6-alpha/openhabian-pi-raspios64beta-202007302224-git0290f04-crc93729328.img
Edited the /boot/openhabian.conf file and put in pi.

So you say it does not happen with the 64bit version but with the 32bit one it does ?
Interesting.
But don’t use 64bit image in production. It’s completely untested.
Yeah can confirm it did all install properly with the 64bit version.
My production openhab is on rpi3 b+ with msata drive.
I going to run the pi4 with oh3 to do testing and learn more so I can be more helpfull.
