I had a few problems with upgrading my kernel before where the laptop just crashes when it tries booting into opensuse, so usually I just rollback the kernel and everything is good. Facts as they stand:- hd is 500GB and shows 300GB is occupied lots of folders are just missing. /home/*, var/*, opt/* used k-linux to retrieve a video & audio file from /home/user/Download installed another linux os to perform said actions Deletion of files would mean that space taken would be far less than 300GB. Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade kernal I would consider myself a seasoned linux user "relatively" speaking. Kinda stumped on this one.

Hi, To answer your question, I upgraded from - Linux 5.14.21-150400.24.21 to - Linux 5.14.21-150400.24.81.default Another update is that I managed to get into READ-ONLY snapshots which work great. All the data seems there and yay i was happy. All the other snapshots that were in the grub menu and that were READ-WRITE. Not sure how i will rollback to snapshot but will keep everyone posted for posterity on how this goes.
So I got into a snapshot that had read-write. Im having a problem as now plymouth-start.service has failed to start. When I looked at the journalctl logs the error was as follows:- symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/plymouthd: undefined symbol: ply_kernel_command_line_get_key_value We'll see how this goes.

So I thought I was good to back things up but I ran bootloader fix. Its completely missing the snapshot when booting. when I mount the drive i cant seem to find things in .snapshots drive. I can find the snapshots from the grub prompt in the terminal. I made the mistake of running fix-bootloader which misplaced where everything was and how it boots up. See new attachment for the error upon boot. If there are any suggestions its always welcome.
