Note in /boot/ whether the initrds all have today's timestamps, or only just the newest kernel. Reboot selecting the prior kernel from advanced options. What happens? If same problem, and the older kernel's initrd was rebuilt today, try restoring the initrd from your backup for prior kernel, then try booting using it.
The initrds have different timestamps -
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 97142441 Jan 3 15:07 initrd-5.14.21-150500.55.39-default -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 97182349 Jan 20 11:19 initrd-5.14.21-150500.55.44-default
Dropping back to OpenSuSE 15.5 with Linux 5.14.21-150500.55.39-default works fine.
OpenSuSE 15.5. with Linux 5.14.21-150500.55.44-default fails
When you boot into the previous kernel as Felix suggested, the root file system is mounted read-only. This means you cannot make permanent changes to the system at this point. To allow that you must first _rollback_ the system to the old (working) kernel.
You confuse "boot previous kernel" with "boot from snapshot".
I think that, if I boot from a snapshot that had a different (previous) kernel version, then I am booting a previous kernel, yes? ;)
No. Yes, it will be a previous kernel if you choose the right snapshot, but the meaning in suseland of "booting a previous kernel" is boot, and in grub menu choose the previous kernel. Not a previous snapshot. The result is a system running the previous kernel and all is mounted normally, r/w. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))
