So I ran the distribution upgrade for tumbleweed, the latest one being as of yesterday, Nov 30. It will not boot on the current kernel, which is 4.19.4-1. It also will not boot on kernel 4.19.2-1, the last upgrade a week ago, which is when this problem started. I was hoping that the new upgrade, which I did yesterday, would fix the problem, but it didn't. However, it will boot on kernel 4.18.15-1, and that is what I am on at the moment. Watching it boot, it hangs at around 30-35 seconds on the following line, right after it says "[ OK ] Reached target Initrd Root Device.": [** ]A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d3224276\x2d28fa\x2d44ad\x2db96e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device (35s / 1min 30s) I think that device number is the device number for the initrd, because it does not show up on my device list when I run ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid. On either of the first 2 kernels, it hangs there and will not get past that line. It actually does not even create a boot log for the attempted boot, and there is seemingly no way to get around it. The boot log for booting into kernel 4.18.15 shows this around the time it is working with that device: ------------ Sat Dec 01 03:44:57 CST 2018 ------------ 6e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device (12s / 1min 30s) [** ] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d3224276\x2d28fa\x2d44ad\x2db96e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device (13s / 1min 30s) [** ] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d3224276\x2d28fa\x2d44ad\x2db96e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device (13s / 1min 30s) [** ] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d3224276\x2d28fa\x2d44ad\x2db96e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device (14s / 1min 30s) [** ] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d3224276\x2d28fa\x2d44ad\x2db96e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device (15s / 1min 30s) < the start job line is repeated many times with new time stamps as time passes > [** ] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d3224276\x2d28fa\x2d44ad\x2db96e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device (1min 29s / 1min 30s) [** ] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d3224276\x2d28fa\x2d44ad\x2db96e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device (1min 29s / 1min 30s) [** ] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d3224276\x2d28fa\x2d44ad\x2db96e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device (1min 30s / 1min 30s) [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-d3224276\x2d28fa\x2d44ad\x2db96e\x2dcd3d84fd2e6e.device.

I was assuming it was the initrd, so I ran mkinitrd again, and rebooted, but it did not fix the problem. For now I have added a lock on kernel packages so that on my next upgrade I won't push out my one working kernel with tumbleweed. But other than that, I don't know what to do next.
