Thanks everyone for the advise. I will try these suggestions this morning. Just curious why these kernels are not working on this particular machine. On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 9:46 PM Basil Chupin <blchupin@iinet.net.au> wrote:

I am still having boot issues. I did the update to the new kernel. The new kernel still freezes when attempting to start x. Prior to the update I only had one kernel image that would boot and now I have none. I would boot into run level 3 and attempt a fix but there is no longer an option line where I could enter init=init 3 at the grub menu. The only thing there is are C (command) and E (edit) options. If anyone could help me get to run level 3 using either of these options I would appreciate it.
Ok, yes, it is "E" you have to use. Then you have to search and find the actual kernel line, which starts with the word "linux". Something similar to this, wrapped:
linux /vmlinuz-4.4.155-68-default root=UUID=ac173013-18ad-4c4e-921e-fd2ecfb56495 resume=/dev/disk/by-label/ssd-swap splash=verbose
Go to the end of the line and write a number 3.
One very important qualification! There must be a space BEFORE the '3'. So, for example above, it should be "...splash=verbose 3".
Then boot pressing some letter I do not remember.
To boot press F10.
The change is not permanent.
Once booted, in YaST software module (it works in text mode too) you have to select to install the old kernel that worked. If you need help on this, I'll expand the instructions.
Once installed, you have to add it to a list of non modified packages, do not touch (don't reboot yet).
Edit file /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, and search for entry "multiversion.kernels". It will probably say:
multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running
See the comments above the entry for help. You have to add one entry like:
multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running,2.6.32.12-0.7
but using the correct numbers for your case.
(Possibly we can use the directory /etc/zypp/multiversion.d instead, somehow, but I do not know how, so do the above instead)
Once you do this, you can reboot, and manually select in grub the old kernel.
