Gentlepeople;

Recently updated to Tumbleweed 20200821 and found that I could not get a graphical login with the default 5.8.0-1 kernel.  After exploring the problem and not finding anyway to even start the KDE environment from within the CLI login, I rebooted and discovered that under the advanced boot options there was the option of booting with the 5.7.9-1 default kernel which works just fine.  Candidly can’t figure out what has gone wrong with the 5.8.0-1 default install , saw nothing relevant in a Google search, and would greatly appreciate  some input as to what the problem could be.  FWIW, I have been using Tumbleweed for about the last 18 months and this is the real problem that I have encountered that couldn’t be resolved with a little thought and research 

Software summary for successful graphical boot:

KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4
KDE Framework version: 5.73.0
Qt version: 5.15.0
Kernel version 5.7.9-1 default
PS Type:  64 bit

Hardware summary:

Intel I7-4770S @ 3.1GHz
Memory: 31.3 GiB RAM
Graphics Processor:  GeForce GTX750 Ti

Many thanks
