I have had some success by manually installing using rpm -i kernel.xxxxx. It would be prudent to back up source, lib and boot directories just in case. Never let updater or Yast do the updating for you is a good rule of thumb even if you normally don't care. If it installs a 'bad' for your system, you have no recovery. So, always download kernels, sources and patches and do it manually ensuring it (Yast) won't touch your boot options. I wish they had never changed that!!! At least it should have left the previous one until the new one had proven itself before wiping it from the face of the earth. Rarely is space such an issue that we can't afford to hang on to an old kernel for a few days or weeks. I get many megabytes of Yast2 logs documenting each days updates....I'd rather keep the old kernel instead if space is that much of an issue!
