Hi all,
what is the minimal suitable CPU type for openSUSE Tumbleweed (I know that i586 is deprecated / less supported, but I guess there is still a "minimal viable target system" for it)?
I updated a Pentium-M (Dothan, probably) based Toughbook CF-51 and after finding that I need "rodata=off" kernel parameter for the kernel to even boot, it fails miserably later in userspace apparently (it just hangs).
So before I'm filing bug reports, the question is if this is still supposed to work.
You'll definitely need a CPU with SSE2 support. [1] That rules out most of what can be considered 586. Pentium-M looks like it's compatible, so the problem might be elsewhere. Best regards Thomas [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2
Best regards,
