there is actual a failure in update. Kernel conflict with Nvidia.  
I have seen that on 2SLED and 1 SLES.

What to do:  
Ctrl+Alt+F1 get to a screen.  
Login as root  
type yast  
search for Nvidia  
update all drivers, but mark them from bottom up - not up - down.  
After update of driver close Yast  
type startx

now the screen is back.
