RAID 10 bug blocking it apparently. To be fair though, this was 2 weeks ago. Not sure where we’re at, I’ve had 4.12 for more than a 1 week with Antergos.

If you want to try that kernel on your system anyway before it’s fully ready, that’s not difficult to do.

Add the kernel repo (You can run the following command in an elevated console)

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ Kernel_repo

Then do a system update (You can run the following command) and accept the repo GPG key

zypper up

And then reboot.

I had to use:

zypper dup --allow-vendor-change

Otherwise it said nothing to do, or that it was skipping the following actions. Rebootin’ … looks good!
