Sounds good - I re-boot rather infrequently, but let me try with the openSUSE 43.2 kernel if I can. I tested like this: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.3.11-1.g0a195a8-default root=UUID=d7f1d717-d6ec-45da-a33a-442675474609 quiet splash showopts nopt acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi= i8042.debug i8042.nomux i8042.reset=Y and beyond spamming syslog amazingly, there was nothing better about life =)
