I made an upgrade with Discover.
After the upgrade a message announces the a firmware update will be installed after reboot.
After rebooting the kernel crashes
I have just hour ago updated to kernel 7.2 (your kernel) and it’s good on a 15 years old device. Did you face many (“Erorr url not found returning 404”) and did you face an error in the end of zypper dup? If that I have faced the same thing and I did sudo zypper dup -d (download only ) and after this sudo zypper dup and it worke and I got this kernel.
No, the update works fine without error.
The only that I noticed was the message, that there will be performed a firmware (Bios) update reboot.
I’m not sure, but I think this has something to do with the Bios firmware upgrade process.
