I think there may be some compatibility issues within the new kernel and my hardware, perhaps? In any case, how can I get back into my system?
Boot a prior 4.18 kernel. If you don't still have one, use: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Factory/kernel-default-4.18.15-1.2.x86_64.rpm
Maybe the modesetting driver will work for you. To find out, uninstall xf86-video-amdgpu and restart the server, or reboot. Like amdgpu, the modesetting requires KMS enabled, so nomodeset must not be on cmdline. Alternatively, assuming /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist or conflict, use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf to specify modesetting:
Section "Device" Identifier "DefaultDevice" Driver "modesetting" EndSection
Can I even reach runlevel 3 with network compatibility so that I could try and upgrade or downgrade my kernel while running in nomodeset?
There may be a kernel cmdline option to make the 4.19 kernel suitable for your 460, amdgpu.dc=0 or amdgpu.pm=0 or some other. malcolmlewis on the forums may be able to point you directly to an appropriate one.
Do I need to file a bug report?
Search BOO. I did. It found 20 open amdgpu bugs. There may already be one that applies to you.
So I had some trouble installing an old kernel. Finally I went to install 4.12 from Leap 15 into my tumbleweed installation. I am probably not supposed to do that, but too late now. In any case, in order to install the new kernel, I had to remove 4.19 and 4.18 to make room on the partition. I did it, and I was able to boot into the 4.12 kernel, but I cannot get the x window system to start now. I see that Malcolm Lewis has researched a lot on the amdgpu, so I think I am going to go to the forums and seek his help to further troubleshoot this problem. For the time being I am running Leap 15 on a separate partition. Thanks to all for your help and suggestions. -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5.13 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: TW | Plasma 5.13 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
