Hi,
Thanks for your reply, it wasn't meant as a rant, sorry. I just need an OS on this laptop that will boot by itself, without the need of a rescue cd. Mint provides that, temporarily, I hope; I'd rather use Suse.
Summarized:
Leap 42.3 booted and ran without any problems on this T420.
Leap 15.0 won't boot on the same system.
Both were clean installs using Suggested Partitioning, BTW. Both were the only OS on the HDD, no dual booting.
Could it be that in 15.0 something has changed that would prevent booting of this (fairly old) T420?
Regards, Fritz

If you have installed mint now, there is nothing we can do or comment. It is just like a rant, useless. Sorry. A question: did you have 42.3 and did an upgrade or did you just try it, erase it and then

There have been changes the way you can use/ should use the tpm with my model and there are problems with virtualization etc. Your T420 should have a smart check in the BIOS that I would run as a first test and I would also run a memory check. If all results O.K. then you can fairly rule out the hardware as problem. On this page you have a list of numeric error codes for you system, provided the system gets you one.

Hope that helps somewhat. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postfächer sicher & zentral an einem Ort.
