Thanks Curtis;

The NV driver I have comes from and NV repos site.  It boots up with the 
NV Boot Splash.  But is not a built one by me.  I will try to get one to 
boot because For about 15 or 20 years I have built every kernel 
including git kernels.  However, I think openSuSE has made it not doable 
on the version I have.  None of them boot using oldconfig or 
/proc/config.gz

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger. 
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
Nope - It's vRanger. Get your free trial download today.
