I've attached the file above.  And yes it is a complete lockup.  I cannot
switch to a different TTY console with CTRL+ALT+F1-6 nor can I SSH into the
machine.  HDD and network activity lights are dead.  The machine will not sleep
if I close the lid or press the power button.  The only option is forced power
off.

The attached file above is the trace from the very first attempt at opening the
bootloader.

If any other information may come in handy, please let me know.  I would like
to wipe this partition and change to openSUSE Leap to have a working system,
but I would like to help provide as much info as possible as well.
