Oh, sorry, you did say that. Confusion.
Then, maybe you should try leap 42.3 on it.
I would second that. Boot 42.3, then collect dmesg and hwinfo information, that would give you some starting point and hopefully identify how your hardware is being seen by that kernel and init. Like the guy in the Archlinux bug report said (me) there is some change that was made to the kernel in the past 6-8 months (I don't know if that change has been backported to SLE or not), but whatever it is, it causes misidentification of a problem with the symptoms of NMI/CPU stall during init that throws the system into a NMI/CPU self-test, for lack of better words, that at least in my case (5 minutes later) results in the kernel figuring out that there is actually nothing wrong and the boot continues normally. In my case, I hit it with an older Supermicro H8DM8E-2 dual-quad-core board (which booted every kernel before 4.16.5 (or so) without issue and continues to boot earlier kernels fine) I have another Supermicro quad-quad-core board that is not effected. So this is a hit-or-miss issue, likely related to some code (or combination of codes) returned by some chipset during the init process. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
