Maybe this is an unintended side effect of some change that just nobody reported yet?
Apparently it did nearly 18 months ago, and got wontfixed: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1032165 Thanks, the information in this bug report was extremely helpful. I managed to install the current Tumbleweed snapshot (20180917) in my VM without SSE2 support using the net install iso.
Easy check of the SSE2 support: grep sse2 /proc/cpuinfo This is what I did it in case it's useful to somebody, use the information at your own risk - and be aware the outcome might change with each new snapshot. 1 boot the net install iso 2 when the error message appears that no repo is accessible *AND* the reason is the lack of SSE2 support of your CPU: switch to tty9, verify that pinging a host which should be accessible, e.g. your gateway, results in an error message like "crypto/fips/fips.c:508: OpenSSL internal error: FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE" then remove the hmac files from /usr/lib (this affects only the installation system booted from the iso, it is not necessary to meddle with the initrd of the installation media) rm /usr/lib/.lib*hmac Verify that "ping" now works, e.g. ping your gateway 3 switch back to tty1 4 in the installer menu go back and enter the network settings, it's not necessary to change any settings, but it seems to be needed in order to make the installer retry the access to the repos 5 proceed with the installation as usual and have a lot of fun. There are some applications missing in the official 32-bit Tumbleweed repos, e.g. Firefox (seamonkey is available, so it's not a problem). With this result I am seriously considering to update my openSUSE 13.2 32-bit system to Tumbleweed. BTW: the (current) i686 rescue image of Tumbleweed starts without problems and has network connectivity on a CPU without SSE2 support, it even contains Firefox 61 which also works. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
