All,
I have limped along with numerous kernels for 42.1 on this laptop. Repo kernel/STABLE offerings have been worse than the standard upgrade kernels.
Problem is complete hardware freeze ups with no log record of what happens.
I was getting week long uptimes with kernel 4.1.31, but the recent upgrade to kernel 4.1.34 regressed to a few hours of uptime between freezes.
I report this in hopes attention is paid to getting opensuse to run robustly on the exceptional hardware of this laptop.
Below is an email first raising this problem earlier this year and detailing the hardware.
Anyone have success with this problem?

Hi, You have a decent laptop :) I think the problem is the Intel skylake modules that are not included on that version of kernel. Either update it to the new kernel (i believe 4.5 or newer, please CMIIW) or you download the modules and install it in your current kernel version. Download intel firmware sklgucver6.1 dan skldmcver1.26 from http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree... You need to have kernel-source and gcc to compile it. Also you have discrete graphics that might also need attention. Maybe you need to add "nomodeset i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0" on your grub line first, and after installing the intel firmware you can modify it to just add "nouveau.modeset=0" Hope that help, -- Edwin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
