Problem with normal boot after applying maintenance

I have been running 11.4 now for quite a while. I installed maintenance to it trough Yast’s Online update and now can’t boot except through the failsafe mode of GRUB. How can I pinpoint where the failure is?

Thanks!

Pure guess, but did the kernel get updated and do you have a proprietary video driver installed? If so reinstall it.

The kernel did get updated. As for a proprietary video driver? Good question! I will have to check on that one. Was thinking about trying a add-on video card that I have to see if it solved the problem.

Chances are if you plug another card in you’ll have to install a driver for it anyway, might as well install the driver for the card you have unless the card you intend to plug in is a better one
