I did yesterday a zypper dup from the runlevel 3. Everything went fine. Rebooted: no problem.
Shutdown and a few hours later turned on the laptop.
Grub comes up and select the 6.12.40-longterm. Then it got stuck on:
loading initial ramdisk
and that’s it. It’s stuck there. After 3 minutes (actual time) I had to press the power button for 4 sec to shut it down.
I restarted and it worked properly, so I immediately checked the journalctl and absolutely nothing of the failed boot. There was no entry for that boot, but there was for the subsequent one and it was normal. Nothing out of the ordinary entry in the journalctl.
This has already happened twice and only on cold boots.

This just happened after upgrading to 20250727 with 6.12.40-1-longterm.
What should I look for to try to investigate?
Thanks
