Its telling you the your new kernel is too big, so... instead of using
zImage use bzImage
(big) zImage
this will allow compression of your new kernel. You probably have more than
you really need in the kernel tho.
As far as wvdial... Its the most popular because its the easiest
you could do the suseppp thing but then you'll have to modify the scripts
*slightly* for your particullar dialup then use the command
/etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic
if you're interested you can see my scripts at the bottom of this page
http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm
actually doing your own dialup makes using diald etc much easier but more
work initally.
If you're only interested in getting connected then wvdial is the quickest
also... I dont beleive you've said what vers of suse you have. Again, if
you have 5.3 ppp is included in the kernel
If you type pppd at the prompt and get a bunch of gibberish scrolling by
then you have pppd on your system and the kernel is moot as far as pppd
goes
