Yes but I must have explained it backwards.  At this point, I think
it's a problem inside the guest, not the host.  I have 9 hosts, and
about 16 guests, and the problem follows this particular guest.  All
hosts are solid.  All the other guests are solid.  It's only this one
guest (or copies of it) that fails, no matter which host I run it on.

So I am going to fresh-load the guest, and just reconnect services,
and yes, it won't be that complex, it just "a pain" and I was hoping
to avoid it.

This made me smile.  At this point, all of my hosts are freshly-loaded
15.1.  But this guest - yes, it's last fresh load was back on 13.1,
and we've just "zypper dup"'ped it at each new release, all the way up
until now.    But it's clearly time to bite the bullet and reload the
guest fresh.

THANK YOU again for your support and responses as I've tried to figure this out!
