Thanks Anton and Per. Anton, what repo do you get the 4.X kernel for your OSS 13.1 systems? Per, I am familiar with the warning you speak of. However, with this new kernel, it then complains about an "incomplete lvm" and then fails to mount root etc. Reverting to previous kernel fixes these problems.
See other post. I see from my notes I had a similar LVM problem with one of the 3 series kernels. I went in to rescue mode on the DVD, mounted the HD rootFS and altered the lvmetad settings and chrooted and mkinitrd'd a new kernel. Yes, the rescue - mount- chroot is a bit fiddly, (and documented extensively on, for example, the Arch system wiki under "Boot Debugging", but sadly I find similar for openSuse) but sometimes its necessary. THIS IS NOT A SYSTEMD PROBLEM ! This is to do with system initialization and getting LVM working despite lvmetad being introduced. Ultimately what needs to be run is /sbin/lvm vgchange -aay --sysinit Yes, this can be, should be, done with a systemd unit. How to get there? But check the value (and comments) in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf for use_lvmetad when you have the real rootFS mounted with the LiveCD. I have it set to "0" https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/boot_debugging OOPS! they've changed that from my printed copy!
