updated > rebooted > "Welcome to rescue mode!"

Hello.
All was good on my opensuse 13.1 system.
The software updater did its thing. I rebooted and now.... dead!
on boot I get "Welcome to rescue mode!" (never seen before!)

I can put in a password for root and I can see a bunch of stuff in journalctl-xb but I dont see any flags.

Where is this file located and how can I get it so that I can do a pastebin?

If I put in a password for root and then do "systemctl default" it seems to hang at the green gecko screen!....it stays there if I hit escape I only get a blinking "_" in the upper right of the screen, if I hit escape again it goes back to the green gecko.

is there a way to undo the last update?
if on a reboot I go to advanced I see the following:
openSUSE 13.1, with linux 3.11.10-11-desktop
openSUSE 13.1, with linux 3.11.10-11-desktop (recovery mode)
openSUSE 13.1, with linux 3.11.10-7-desktop
openSUSE 13.1, with linux 3.11.10-7-desktop (recovery mode)


all of them seem to do the same thing.... take me to rescue mode




please help...
