This smells like an initrd update failure.
You see, when doing zypper up -y, maybe the kernel gets upgraded.
When the kernel gets upgraded, some script kicks in and regenerates /boot/vmlinuz* and /boot/initrd*.
This happened to me before. The path to your disks get incorrectly updated and you can not boot.
In Grub's boot menu, do you have 2 or more boot entries? Can you see your old kernel? If you see it, can you boot it?
If that is the case, then you need to correct your disk path in some of the files in /boot. I do not know by heart how to do it, but if you confirm that you can boot with the older kernel, i can try to help you.
