Kernel 7.1.8 has been pushed because of kernel-7-1-6-causing-graphical-glitching-on-9070-9060-gpu and the Nvidia stack was left behind.
For the time being Nvidia G07 users can:
- lock the kernel so they are able to boot 7.1.6 until G07 user-space is updated
- or configure zypp.conf to keep 3-4 kernels (see /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.README) and boot 7.1.6
- or install the G07 driver “the hard way” with the .run file if they cannot wait.
