Is it possible to save this, and if so, how? Have left computer in this condition awaiting answer. Ow :-/
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.
Multiple problems, apparently. I took the computer apart and reset the CMOS a couple of times. One of the problems was that I seem to have picked a bad option to reset the DVD boot procedure, and it blew up on me. By some stroke of luck, I got the thing to boot back into Suse, where I am now. It seemed that some combination of things kept the cpu from outputting video on the HDMI port that was going to the monitor. I went round and round before figuring this out, and finally connected an "old fashioned" multi-pin video cable between the computer and the monitor and got video back, and then by some stroke of luck, I got into the cmos setup again and told it to boot OpenSUSE TW from the ssd, and it did. The cmos setup on this ASRock mobo is video, not like the old system we're all used to, and it is a bit confusing. (Was trying to get the machine to boot from a DVD and I blew it, somehow.) If you should have one of these boards, F10 will save your desired setting. Not obvious. (Altho, I think F10 worked on the old system, too, now that I think of it.) Now, I'm wondering whether the attempted zypper dup caused the system to crash, or if it was just a perversion, or what. --doug
