New openSUSE 13.2 Install failure

Hi All, Toshiba Satellite 32 bit, has been running under OpenSUSE very nicely since 11. Tried an Upgrade to 13.2 from 13.1 KDE splash screen indicated that it failed to load the Display. In 13.1 it was a Gnome desktop. So I selected CTRL +ALT +F2 and logged in there to try again, this time with a Gnome desktop. Worse outcome. Clean shut down from the Alt F2 screen and decided to run the install with LVM btrfs and encryption to force a format of /home for the next attempt. Now I know that openSUSE has moved to systemd for this release, but is that the problem, or do I look elsewhere? I still have the isos for 13.1 so regression is an option. I am seriously apprehensive about upgrading my production machine. Thanks Andrew Greig
