Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Actions for Users:
Users of V2 compatible machines Users will automatically be upgraded to x86-64-v2 flavors (which is what we want to happen for the majority of users)
Users who can't migrate to V2 and i586 users The repository list will need to be updated away from download.o.o/tumbleweed/repo/oss to something like download.o.o/ports/intel/tumblewed/repo/oss
So just to clarify for stupid old me, I have three servers running on HP MicroServers N10 (x86_64 without any -v-something), Leap 15.5 is still going to support x86_64 (-v1), but then I'll either have to migrate to TW with those legacy repos, or buy three new servers?
If your hardware is so old, that it does not support Tumbleweed anymore, yes, either legacy repos or new servers. Don't forget: Tumbleweed as rolling release is using always the newest and greatest stuff. And sometimes this increases the requirements for hardware. Be the amount of memory, harddisk size or CPU features.
Related question, is there a **reliable** way to see one's hardware "level" when your /lib64/ld-linux*.so does not understand --help (yet)?
Boot a Tumbleweed installation media, switch to the text console or boot the rescue system, and run ld-linux.so with the --help option. This should work reliable.
