On another computer, download the current Tumbleweed DVD. Put it on a DVD or and USB stick following the instructions at the wiki.
Boot that DVD or USB stick on the failed computer, and choose "upgrade system".
Notice: I have never tested this procedure with Tumbleweed, and it is drastic.
Another possibility.
Download a Grub rescue distribution and put in DVD or USB stick following their instructions, and use it to try repair your GRUB.
I can not help with this from here.
Else, reinstall.
