This worked for me too. It’s a bit extreme to have to delete a kernel but better than not having a working system at all.
Note that when it rebuilt nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default it gave lots of warnings, but the resulting system rebooted and worked so I guess they were just warnings.

The procedure described on the install thread by laurence_tyler worked for me too
Use Yast to delete any other kernel different than the one you use/active
go to Lib/Modules and delete any folder with a kernel version different than the active.
re-install NVidia drivers (it will recreate the folder you deleted but only with nvidia related files)
reboot
Hopefully it’ll work for other like it did to me.
Thanks to laurence_tyler for the solution.

There seems to be a problem with setting up the weak update module links properly in the install script. Stefan’s suggestion was to **delete any old kernel versions then **re-install nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-desktop-361.28_k3.16.6_2-23.1.x86_64.rpm
Make sure that the one kernel installed is in fact the one that is running, then re-install the driver.
After doing this, my system is back to running with its full 4K graphics glory! lol! The only downside is that now I only have the one kernel available. Normally I keep two versions in case an update has unexpected effects that mean I have to revert.
Before the re-installation step I visited /lib/modules and deleted any stuff from the previous kernel versions. I noticed that after re-installation, the directory /lib/modules/3.16.6-2-desktop re-appeared, and this is where the actual nvidia modules seem to be kept. There are symlinks from the current kernel weak-updates/update directory to these modules********

Problem is due to a weak install script. Here is a fix that is less extreme, more conventional.
Install nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default (or desktop). If you can;t get past the console login, start there and log on as root. Use this command.
zypper in --force rpm -qa "nvidia-gfx*kmp*"
Now reboot.
Actually it seems to be caused by a bug in the “weak-updates” install script…
Should be fixed in the latest nvidia packages though, according to http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2016-03/msg01226.html .
