So the 32-bit net install requires a sse2 capable CPU which is the problem in my case.
Apparently there's more requiring sse2 than just the net installer. The reason I was trying to install was an existing TW installation was core dumping trying to zypper dup, so I wanted to try a fresh install. I first Googled for release notes and system requirements looking for any mention of sse2 without finding any before proceeding to try to install. I also tried to install from openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-i586-Current.iso. It failed with exit code 134. As of Fedora 28, sse2 has not become a requirement yet, but I guess it's time to abandon openSUSE for Debian on this box and any others with Athlon class CPUs. Is there any easy way to see if a CPU provides sse2, something better than detecting its absence from /proc/cpuinfo's flags? Has anyone found mention of sse2 in any installation doc? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
