Was this with BTRFS or another filesystem? We have had huge problems
with BTRFS and now have had to convert all of our SLES 12 servers to
ext4 to avoid it. The problems all hit when we moved to SP4 from
earlier levels of SLES 12. One by one, even the stable servers failed.

Exactly what happened to us. I posted here last month when it happenend.
SUSE has given us a temp PTF that we've just started testing
What you need to do to recover is to boot a rescue system and bring on all your devices with chzdev.
Then run mkinitrd and grub2-install and cross your fingers.

Hi:
Yesterday after perform an update in one of our test servers (SLES12 SP4) and after updating & rebooting, now the server won't boot. This are the messages
Booting default (grub2)

You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or
/boot
after mounting them and attach it to a bug report.
Give root password for maintenance
Please note, this server has the following filesystem layout:
1. DASD device (non-LVM) --- (root filesystem)
(5) DASD devices for "sys" volume group for the rest of filesystem: /var,
/usr etc..
We can mount / filesystem on another zLinux system and have access to /boot and /etc and trying to rebuild grub and is unsussceful.
Any help?
