Hi everyone,
I tried to install TW (snapshot 20161102) on one of my old laptops, an IBM Thinkpad R51. It has a Intel PentiumM processor, 32bit, 1 core, and 2 GiB RAM.
When booting from the DVD, I can see the EDD check, then the screen becomes black and the laptop reboots. I tried several parameters, last combination was "edd=off nosmp nolapic noacpi nomodeset noefi" - but still rebooting.
Some hints how I can get my old R51 to run Tumbleweed anyone?
BTW, the laptop hasn't been touched for more than 3 years now and has a working installation of openSUSE 12.3 on it :). I just want to update...
You say 32bit ??? I believe TW is now *only* 64bit....
Your believes are misguided in this respect... Leap has been shipping 32-bit only since Leap 42.1 - for Tumbleweed, i586 is still being built and 'tested' (although: there are only VERY minimal and basic tests, like for exapole https://openqa.opensuse.org/t ests/301830 which shows that a Plasma session managed to start) All relevant ISO files are available at: http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/?P=*i586* Cheers, Dominique
