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.
This very much sounds like https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1006417, at least judging from the symptoms.
Yes, absolutely! This "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... OK" you gave in Comment #20 is the last thing I see before the box reboots. The boot parameter edd=off just leads to not seeing the line, not to avoiding the reboot ;)
I would recommend to try a newer Tumbleweed snapshot, Kernel 4.8.6 with the fixes got released in 20161104.
Gnaaa :) I went to the store buying a blank DVD and now it is full with an unusable TW snapshot ;) I'll try a newer one, of course, since it's caused by a kernel problem that I cannot work around by providing a boot parameter.
Kind Regards, Wolfgang
Thank you very much! Werner --
