(In reply to James Moe from comment #89) ... > Disabling the modules ucode-intel and ucode-amd in the Software Manager was > not sufficient to prevent a catatonic system. It is a necessary requirement > to include "dis_ucode_ldr" in the kernel parameters at boot time (GRUB2). I assume that uninstalling ucode-amd is missing to run an mkinitrd. When I install ucode-amd using yast, this takes quite a while to run the mkinitrd for the installed kernels. Uninstalling ucode-amd instead is finished within a second. And the system still hangs after reboot, when dis_ucode_ldr is not used. I have to run an mkinitrd manually to be able to boot without dis_ucode_ldr.
