I have a dual boot toshiba laptop which will not run > 4.8 kernels. It began life as win 8 upgraded to 10 and shrunk to minimum. Then openSUSE Tumbleweed. System is uefi and boots correctly (afaics) with 4.8 kernels but all 4.9+ kernels immediately reboot after displaying "loading initial ramdisk".
Adding "nomodeset" on boot line does not help. Nor does "dis_ucode_ldr".
tks,

tks, but bad news. Install failed for me, boot msg (from memory): Loading initial ramdisk ... error: you need to load the kernel first.
and from lack of attention and old force of habit, I installed the 4.9.2 kernel with rpm -Uvh and it removed my other kernels.
I have no idea about the error "you need to load the kernel first". I thought zypper/rpm handled all of that.
luckily, one of my btrfs snapshots recovered my system to 4.8.14, albeit several packages to upgrade.
tks

This means grub attempted to load kernel but it failed for some reasons. Then next command tries to load initrd and it fails with this error message because it expects kernel to be loaded first.
So you need to look at error of previous command.

And that would be? /var/log/boot.omsg ???

This is grub error, so it happens before kernel is loaded. It would be on screen.

ok, I will reboot that device and take a photo of the screen, but from memory I don't recall any other msg.
