[opensuse] Is my machine too old for OS 12.1 ?

Hello knowledgeable people

I have just installed OpenSuse 12.1 on a not very young PC with AMD Athlon
processor socker 362 ; 1048 Mhz and 1.5 Gb. ram

I installed LXce
The usb mouse leaves a trailing suite of cursor arrows along its course
The keyboard does not work unless I change to console #1 and come back to #7
my root and user passwords are recognised in Lxce but not in console mode
where the machine has been given a strange name : 'Asparagus'
I tried several updates, which is not easy under these circumstances but the
kernel update always fails, sometimes just about 98 or 99 % which is most
frustrating and I find some strange error messages in /var/log/messages; Here
is a sample :

What do you think of it ? Is there a way out ?
