This weekend I installed maintenance and the kernel was updated i suspect. When the Grub menu comes up and select Opensuse, as soon as the logon menu comes up it displays for a second or two then the video disappears before i can enter my password. I only have the 4.9.0.1 and 4.9.0.2 kernels available in Grub2. I have dual boot enabled with Windows 10 and Tumbleweed. I can boot into windows just fine so the problem appears after I choose Tumbleweed.
My hardware is Intel I5-3570k and AMD HD6850 video card.
I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to linux. Any assistance as to how to recover would be appreciated. I would prefer to attempt a recovery by possibly installing the 4.8.14 kernel if that is possible. Is there an option to start Opensuse in a terminal / safe mode from the grub menu ?
thanks
