I am still working with Leap 15.4 and tried to install Leap 15.6. Following the standard procedure (on July 29) I burnt the Offline-image with k3b and started the installation with option "Installation". The installation process stopped at the message "[ end Kernal Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exit code=0x00000004 ]", with the CAPS-lock LED flashing! The same happened today (July 31), with a second (different) download of the Offline-image but using a USB-stick instead of a DVD. Also, I tried the network-image, with the same negative result
What is wrong, what should I do get Leap 15.6 installed?
Thanks in advance! Franz
You may get some help here. You can disable the graphical interface which may help you find where the problem is. I ran into a problem with the "cpu mitigations" kernel parameter (2.4.7 on this. page). IIRC the default is "auto". On my system it must be "off" or the kernel will not boot. As shown, you can access the boot parameters and change them on the fly. https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/html/book-startup/cha-bo... HTH, --dg
