I have just done an upgrade from Leap42.3 on my laptop and now the default boot stalls with the Leap logo (V with box n top!)
If I select advanced from boot menu and select a lower kernel number? all is OK.
At present my Kinfocentre tells me I am running kernel 4.4.138-59-default.
Is there something I can do to get the latest kernel to run?

How did you perform the upgrade? Leap 15.0 doesn’t use kernel 4.4.x, so that suggests an incomplete upgrade perhaps. Show us the output of the following…
zypper lr -d
ls -l /boot/vm*
cat /etc/os-release
Also, tell us about your graphics chipset
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --gfxcard
Hi Deano, thanks for the quick reply. I upgraded using the zypper dup method having updated all and removed all but four repos. I think the problem may be with my graphics setup. Here are the results of your prompts:-

Couldn’t get the hwinfo for --gfxcard using cat. Looked at hwinfo file but no clear answer there. Is there another way of finding this.
I am booting using a fall back option in the advanced boot option which offers the older kernel.
The distribution suggests there is an issue and that I use nomodeset. Not sure where to add this instruction.
Hope this helps.
You don’t use ‘cat’ for this. Just execute the hwinfo command as given.
or use lspci eg
/sbin/lspci -nnk|grep '\03' -A3

Right, I see that now.

Hope this helps.
You can do it ‘on the fly’ at the grub screen (which is not persistent)…
https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.grub2.html#sec.grub2.menu_change
or via YaST > System > Boot Loader (which will take effect next boot and is persistent)…

Hi Deano,
My mistake. Here is missing info.

Will use grub menu method for now as I hope a fix is due.
Many thanks.
Okay, so you have hybrid graphics. Did you have have bumblebee installed previously?
Just in case this post is useful to you…
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/531327-Anyone-get-Nvidia-Optimus-working-in-Leap-15?p=2873785#post2873785
*The user claimed that installing bumblebee via the X11:Bumblebee repository was the way to go.
I had been on 42.3 and certainly was not aware of any bumblebee installation.
I see that the link refers to 32bit version so will check out the repo site.
Am I right in understanding there will be a fix shortly? Odd that what must be a common problem had not been addressed in beta releases and Tumbleweed.
Many thanks for your help. Will report back in due course.
Hi Deano,
For those that may follow with similar problem, the bumblebee solution in your link above worked.
I followed the commands faithfully and all is well but I confess I was well out of my comfort zone as I didn’t really know what I was doing.
I mentioned a possible fix being in the pipeline and wonder if now I have bumblebee installed the system will not update the kernel or if it does that it will not be used.
Well thats the laptop fixed. Now to another machine I just messed up!
Thanks again,
Budge
Just a few additional hints.
Are you using the discrete Nvidia card? If so, by which method (DRI_PRIME if you are not aware of any Bumblebee install?) Have you uninstalled any proprietary Nvidia drivers before the upgrade?
Is Mesa-dri-nouveau installed? Try uninstalling it if you don’t use discrete graphics.
Maybe “zypper dup” left behind one or more “orphaned” packages, i.e. packages that are no more in Leap 15 repositories? For instance drm-kmp-default? Try uninstalling that package, it is not needed with kernel 4.12.x.
EDIT: Sorry, I didn’t see your last post while I was typing. So PROBLEM SOLVED with bumblebee. If you left the X11 repo enabled, you should have no problems with updates, including those involving a new kernel.
Good to read of your success with this.
