So i have a few Opensuse Leap 15 machines and was wanting to migrate them to Tumbleweed due to concerns i have with Leap 16.x. I ran the tool and selected Tumbleweed and instead the tool wiped my repos out and migrated me to a very broken Leap 15.6. How broken? If i booted into a graphical mode the whole system would kernel panic with fans at full tilt. I would have to hard poweroff the machine for a few minutes (unplug from wall) then turn it back on to have any semblance of stability.

In the end I wiped the /etc/zypp/repo.d/ directory and copied over the repos from a known good working Tumbleweed install. That video will be comming out soon!
