Hi
It presents the Grub menu and you select the choice you normally make, it clears the screen, displays "Tumbleweed" with the progress circle spinning then drops out to the cli. it seems to be failing to load Plasma but with no errors (unless in a log file somewhere)
I removed the nvidia board and installed my new old HD6570 and booted up but it just drops to a cli login with an error about SP5100-tco (nvidia also displays this message so i've assumed its not important).
It first blew out with an error to say i had to enable a BIOS setting for Virtualisation which I did and it cleared that error.
I've also put "radeon.cik_support=1 radeon.si_support=1" on the kernel parameters via yast but still no joy. removed these parameters as they didn;t seem to make any difference
The Radeon software is installed and running according to the logs, i've checked journalctl for Radeon errors but no joy. ran a program celled "radeontop" and it knows the board is working as it identifies the board as "TURKS" ran "lsmod | grep " and got "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Turks PRO [Radeon HD 6570/7570/8550 / R5 230] [1002:6759]"

What simple thing have I missed as I'm a bit out of my depth here?
