Sis brought me brother-in-law’s 15.1 to fix, which was originally default 42.2 installation. That means BTRFS, which I’ve never touched before, much less fixed. I wanted to try to free some space. btrfs filesystem df / and /home indicate somewhere around 70% used each. I want to get rid of old snapshots anyway. Oldest is Nov 2016, newest 3 months ago, oldest 3 #s 0 1 74, newest 3 #s 91 92 93. mount -o remount,ro / doesn’t work. GUI won’t run due to RO, cannot load some theme.
dmesg says:

Wow, lots of errors, log contains only most recent 256 included.
I hoped to be able to just install 15.1 fresh, but 15.1 first USB rescue boot wouldn’t let me mount BTRFS sda2 to recover files from /home. Neither would any 15.1 USB rescue boot assign an IP to the Realtek 8111/8168/8411NIC. I shutdown and replaced old blue Dell SATA cable with known SATA 3.0/6Gbps cable. blkid output seems normal. sda2 mounted without messages, but chrooted to it ‘snapper ls’ produces “Failure (dbus fatal exception).”
Now another reboot to SSD gave me RW /:

Attempt to delete 77 fails. So does zypper ref, due to bad media attach point.
Now / has returned to RO, so can no longer redirect command output to nfs filesystem.
Is this Kingston 128GB SNV425S just trash? Did a bad(?) SATA cable result in corruption a fresh installation would fix? Is this candidate for rollback? If so, to which snapshot?
OT:
What’s it take to make dmesg output use only visible colors? Red on black is not visible without undue magnification.
