perhaps so.  i'm simply documenting the steps i've taken.

a diff with your config is not null, but it's not huge ... yes, of
course, the details matter.

if works for you building/installing on opensuse?  if not, hence my questions.

again, yes, i'd followed both: " ... Following the various/disparate
Wiki pages, ..."

like i said, boot doesn't get past grub ... so there's no console output.

yes, i'm aware of what suse is shipping.  i've asked question on this
list based on it.  most recently i got a drive-by RTFM-ing that's
incorrectly & irrelevant to that case, and no further communications
...

i don't need many, i need one.  after the n-th failure trying to
"figure it out", i thought the lists were for asking questions ...

there are active developers on this list who work @ *suse.  i'm hoping
that one of them will pipe up.
