Show full logs from boot (journalctl -b).
Original journal under discussion is gone because apparently the default of a new 15.1 install is to not write journals to permanent storage. Bad idea, imho. Anyway, fixed now.
Non-persistence of the journal has been default for a while in openSUSE and other distros. So far this has bitten me/colleagues twice on 15.0 as well Linux Mint 19.1, Debian 10, RHEL 7 and Debian 9 - buster(deb10) just two nights ago after a machine needed its RAM reseating and we went looking for 'previous signs of wobbliness'[TM] to find half the uptime had been lost from the ring buffer (verbose debug was on) and no trace of earlier boots. I don't know the rationale for non-persistence, or install scripts not doing 'mkdir /var/log/journal'; but from experience we've only noticed after problems. 'journalctl -b -1' has been a really useful feature of systemd/journald, for me.
