I did :: # keep multiple kernel for safety kernel # see https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.tuning.multikernel.html#sec.tuning.multikernel.enable.keep :: sed -i~ -re '/multiversion.kernels = / s/(latest-)[1-3]/\14/' /etc/zypp/zypp.conf zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-42.3/standard/Kernel:openSUSE-42.3.repo zypper up kernel-default That installed kernel 4.4.172-86 (1st feb 2019) that has the same bug. Please note that, in /dev, this new kernel shifts sda to sdc, sdb to sde, sdc to sdf, etc... So I had to change my fstab entries :: lsblk -o +UUID|sed 's/^/#/'>>/etc/fstab vim /etc/fstab but this is not the main thing.
