Not sure if this helps anything but Arch has the same Problem with 6.2
Only when dualbooting and only if the Bootloader is not from Arch. I can’t explain more as I am not a tech person. Just search for “Arch 6.2 boot problem”. Also Brodie Robertson on Youtube has a short video about it (latest Video as of March 8)
I don’t know if openSUSE did the same with Kernel 6.2
Still no new 6.2 kernel in TW here. Am I the only one with related problems (with NVIDIA graphics and no UEFI/secure boot)?
May be (at least only one having this particular combination that triggers thus problem). Have you opened bug report?
@suse_rasputin as a Tumbleweed user you should be following the Factory Mailing list, new details there today…
Nope, just a dumb user here…
I don’t get it, lockdown patches or what?!? 
So the 6.2.1 kernel didn’t work for you, introduction of lockdown patches, secure boot, legacy boot, but the previous kernel works, kernel 6.2.2 removes the lockdown patches, so should be the same as the 6.1.12.
Once 6.2.2 rolls around and still not working (so any lockdown patching is not the issue), then can create a bug report…
many thanks, malcolm, let’s wait’n see…
Kernel 6.2.2 installed via zypper dup, rebooted, system hangs on the absolute same time in very early boot, waiting some minutes doesn’t help.
Frustrating…
@suse_rasputin what about selecting recovery mode, does that work? Or if on boot, press the e key to edit grub and add nomodeset to the linux line (after quiet).
nomodeset boots, but results in lousy resolution (1280x1024), I see no way to change… 
Normal resolution is 1920x1200, the reason why I keep these old machines in service…
@suse_rasputin it will do for the moment to see what is what, so definitely a driver issue.
So, can you post the output from inxi -Gxxz.
Booted with kernel 6.1 I get:
inxi -Gxxz

OK?
@suse_rasputin So you have the Nvidia driver installed (maybe the open one from oss) as well, can you remove that as it’s likely interfering with nouveau, run zypper se -i nvidia.
Can you also check down in /etc/X11 and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ for any xorg.conf file related to nvidia, also down in /etc/modprobe.d/ for any blacklisting of nouveau, run fgrep nouveau /etc/modprobe.d/*
Hi again!
udo zypper se -i nvidia

nothing with nvidia in /etc/x11…
@suse_rasputin can you remove this one kernel-firmware-nvidia-gsp-G06 and when done, run mkinitrd and boot with the new kernel.
Done, same difference, boot stops after “usb1-4 found…” (hangs forever, no access via ssh), in normal boot after this the graphics switch with kernel 6.1…
…after some problems some weeks ago the
nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default
is taboo on this machine. Is that a problem?
@suse_rasputin taboo that gsp one as well… they are both related. And if you add nomodeset? Can you do that and post the inxi output from the 6.2.2 kernel.
…gsp is tabooed from the time of un-installing it
