All, Devs,
On a virtualbox install, zypper up to kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 on 15.0 left the VM unable to boot - it hangs part way though the boot. Downgrade to kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.79.1 works just fine.
Attempts to rebuild the init with:
# dracut -fM --kver 4.12.14-lp150.12.82-default
completes successfully but does not solve the problem. I have removed (zypper rm'ed) kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 and the system boots fine on the kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.79.1 kernel.
What to check as to why update to the new kernel failed? There is no persistent journal to check.
If the kernel boots and starts the system, then crashes, there is either journal or syslog, or both.
I wish that were true. The only thing captured in /var/log/messages is the install of the kernel and associated kernel-source, kernel-syms, etc.., and then the removal of the kernel. It is before early boot is started because there is noting related to the actual operation of 4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 in /var/log/messages. YaST2/mkinitrd.log shows that the initrd was created and setup correctly, but literally hangs immediately after reboot to it. I'm not sure what to check. The update on the 15.1 VM to 4.12.14-lp151.28.32-default went fine, so this is limited to the 15.0 VM and 4.12.14-lp150.12.82.1 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
