I recently tried to install the latest NET installation iso on a Pentium 3 system which does not support the sse2 instruction set. I was unable to boot the install iso's (either the full or the NET); the installation aborted during boot with a kernel panic. On the other hand, the live and rescue iso's worked fine. I was able to run KDE, etc. After a bit of work I discovered the problem was that the linuxrc program used as the init program in the installation iso's was exiting upon startup with the "FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE" message from OpenSSL. I am not sure but I expect this is occuring because the crypto module used for fips compliance has probably been built with the sse2 assembly code. I was able to successfully build and boot an installation iso by removing the two files that activate fips: libcrypto.so.*.hmac and .libssl.so.*.hmac from /lib in the initrd archive on the iso. I then produced a new iso with this modified initrd file and booted it successfully. I will try to complete the install tomorrow and if I experience any additional problems I will document them - but it has proceeded far enough that I think all will be well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
