Hello to you all. I just obtained the latest openSUSE TW offline image
(openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-i586-Snapshot20210429-Media.iso) from the following:
-> https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed

I am certain that the Compaq-nc6400 laptop is 32 bit not 64 bit.

Issue is after selecting "installation" within live bootmenu. The live system
information loads and displays information lines up until pausing at "0.957026
trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...".

I previously have successfully installed a live 32 bit TW image
(openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-i586-Snapshot20210418-Media.iso) on the computer but
the latest kernel 5.12.0-1-pae fails boot into splash screen and freezes the
computer. I revert to kernel 5.11.16-1-pae then all boots to splash screen just
fine.

This above is why I am attempting to install this latest snapshot.

What if any options do I have going forward with this?

Thank you
