Hi-- I lost vmlinuz's for kernels in /usr/src/ so I can't boot the previous 5.7.11 kernel hence no VMware.
Tumbleweed up to date VERSION_ID="20200813"
I will restate my problem
- VMware will not run on kernel 5.8; as it connects it spontaneously re- boots the entire machine with no warning.
- I need a previous kernel. Google shows no such for openSUSE
- I could pause the boot and select such a kernel
_ In my wisdom I removed kernel 5.8 with YaST but it removed all my previous kernels and left my with 4.13's where did they come from?
You are lucky your machine still boots.

- Is there a recipe to make bootable kernels from these?
That's not the way to go. You have to look at boombatower. https://review.tumbleweed.boombatower.com/about.html You can install *some* previous version of Tumbleweed from here: http://download.opensuse.org/history/ -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
