Yes. Took me a while to make sure that it is not a bug in the VirtualBox
I am using, and not a bug in the handling of snapshots that I accumulated. 
Every Factory image upgraded yesterday or the day before ceased to work
for me, and the current images out there fail in the same way. They all
stop with a black screen at the time where the kernel should be
loading (or starting to be loaded maybe).

I noticed that mkinitrd includes about 87 modules into the initial
ramdisk, don't know if it could be related.

I later was able to boot the system with an 11.1 kernel. 

(For some reason, this is my only system where I _not_ had configured
zypper to keep kernels... how stupid from me...)

I just entered https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481354
