I failed to make it run successfully. On my system zypper would only give me a choice of filesystem-84 (installed with Tumbleweed) with the newer kernel, but not supported in 15.3, or downgrading the filesystem to a lower version, and using the stock kernel from the regular 15.3 repos.
You are supposed to use Kernel:stable:Backports.
Yes. When I initiated the forum thread a couple of weeks ago, it was suggested to me to use the Backports repo at the time, so I did, as you can see from the link. All of the associated problems that came with zypper trying to downgrade the filesystem and being unable to use the new kernel would not work while trying to install the advanced kernel form Backports. After trying to force the system to use the new kernel and breaking some dependencies, I could not make it boot up.
I came away with the impression that 15.3 is not compatible with the advanced kernel (5.13) available in Backports.
If I am wrong on that and there is some way to install Leap 15.3, and then make the advanced kernel from Backports work, I would very much love to know how, especially if someone else has done it successfully. I already spent several hours trying to make it work and eventually had to move on to other things.
This is the Backports repo url that I tried: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable:/Backport /standard/
I have no idea what you did because it just works here.

Andrei, all, Could you please confirm what are the post-install leap 15.3 steps you have done to switch the kernel? Is it just: zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stabl e:/Backport/standard kernel zypper update zypper install -r kernel I am running SW which needs to build its own module based on: zypper install kernel-default-devel Would/Should that still work with the back-port kernel? I have had issues with installing non-default kernel on bunch of machines with new HW (about year old now) with leap 15.3/2. I would like to try to convert them to 15.3 again. A confirmation of what works for others would be helpful to save time troubleshooting potential issues. Thank you very much, Tomas
