I have a clean install of 15.6 Leap. On the reboot after the installation there is a Kernel Panic message and also a Kernel Overlap. It does not continue to load.
The Caps lock and scroll lock lights on the keyboard are flashing. It will not accept Ctl-Alt-Del to reboot. Had to hard shutoff at the computer.
HOWEVER, if I boot into the Recovery Mode, and enter Ctl-D, it starts X as normal and logs in.
What needs to happen to allow the default Grub2 entry for 15.6 to load and log in?
I would think a boot log file would help, but I could not locate the one referencing the errors to share.
I have a complete hardware probe (Yast2-hardware information) if that helps. If there is a command or a location for that log file, please let me know and I will provide that information.
There are no other OS, but are a couple of different distros, however each is on a separate partition and installation.
Another issue I was working on in 15.5 that occurred about 6 months ago was posted here.
I have 2 Nvidia GPU cards in this system. Back in May after an update one quit working. This was never resolved.
I did however find the note below in the boot.omsg today. It is calling for a different driver for the second older card (GeForce GT 610) Perhaps this is related? Not sure.

This article is on the Nvidia site. It looks like a method to include multiple kernel nvidia drivers that may correct the error for the second card issue. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers
Please let me know what you need to help diagnose this issue and I will be happy to pull that.
Ordinary Nvidia proprietary driver disables nouveau driver. The GeForce GT 610 card is a rebranded GeForce GT 520, uses GF119-300-A1 chip, needs nouveau drivers. Try to use the same driver for both Nvidia cards - nouveau or modesetting. Delete setting which blacklists nouveau driver.
If you want to use old video cards - use ATI/AMD ones.
“you’re using UEFI boot, but some disks are MBR - for what?”
I don’t know how that happened. I would appreciate help in getting it cleaned. What is the process to do that?
Also, I would like to add a boot partition for Lubuntu. In that process it states that a GPT partition table is required. I want to be sure that will not conflict with the Leap installed. I assume it will only pertain to Lubuntu?
Note that repartitioning will in effect erase the disk
So most likely it is due to an old harddrive.
Are there any issues that may be caused by the missmatch?
Is it ok to leave it alone? I am not looking to change everything on that drive if it is not needed.
If you don’t boot from the drives it does not really matter As long as the drive is less then 2 gig. Above 2 gig it must be formatted GPT , DOS does not support larger drives
