Comment # 24 on bug 1224773 from Imo Hester

Hey everyone after a bit of digging and tons or rebooting I found the issue(s)

1) The initrd file is being generated to the wrong location.
Running "sudo transactional-update initrd" will generate the initrd file to:
/boot/initrd-<current-kernel-version>

2) The systemd-boot entry of the actual snapshot which is to be booted is not
being updated as it uses the any initrd file located at:
/boot/efi/opensuse-aeon/6.9.1-1-default/

As you can see the initrd file generated this morning is also there because I
manually moved it there and edited the systemd-boot entry of the current
snapshot:

Original file:

The entry still point's to the very first initrd as generated upon installing
the system. Also I do expect the next update to reset the entry.
But as of writing these lines I have the nvidia driver loaded and nouveau is no
where near to be found.

It seems to be a transactional-update issue I believe and they have to
update/patch this?
