unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)
In an Ubuntu forum the solution was given as
update-initramfs -u -k [version]
but Tumbleweed doesn’t seem to have that command.
Suggestions or solutions requested, please
For openSUSE, the relevant command would be:
mkinitrd
which you can run at a root command line. However, the update should have already handled this.
I am not having any problems (yet) with the 5.16.5 kernel.
Thank you

I’m not up to understanding this
apologies too many -1" in command
mkinitrd worked in that I am no longer getting a kernel panic but now it doesn’t boot with a “failed to load kernel modules”
used Yast to reinstall kernel - all good now - thank you
“dracut” (which “mkinitrd” invokes) is a bit noisy. I usually ignore the noise.
mkinitrd calls dracut. Users may want to use dracut itself.
dracut --force --regenerate-all && update-bootloader
fixes most issues.
