Comment # 52 on bug 1224773 from Jonathon Duvall

I can't speak for Imo but the only thing I did to trigger the issue was
installing the nvidia drivers as outlined in the wiki 
# transactional-update -i pkg install openSUSE-repos-NVIDIA then reboot

# transactional-update -i pkg in nvidia-drivers-G06
nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default nvidia-video-G06 nvidia-gl-G06 nvidia-compute-G06
then reboot again

Once you reboot the second time the expectation ofcourse is the nvidia driver
is loaded and working however an nvidia-smi shows that is not the case and that
is when you can see the initrd file was generated (its in /boot) but it does
not attach it properly and you have to manually attach it using
transactional-update c shell and then manually adjusting the initrd as
outlined.

Hope this is helpful I'm happy to walk through the process on a fresh install
whenever as well
