Today online-update downloaded a kernel update. during the update, the system
froze. No mouse movement, no capslock-led.
After a reboot, the system could no longer boot into runlevel 5, several
services failed due to missing modules.

Final portion of zypper.log:

I have little hints for the cause of the freeze. The only odd thing is, that 
/lib/modules/2.6.25.9-0.2-pae/modules.dep was missing afterwards.
Maybe this is due to a corrupted filesystem (crash while writing in
/lib/modules) or this indicates that the update messed with 2.6.25.9 modules
while adding 2.6.25.11 modules.

I am runing the machine from a different partition now. Except for the first
reboot, this root partition should be unchanged.

I am mainly interested to find out, if this was a random crash, or if this is
an issue in the kernel update procedures. 

Is there any more diagnostics I could provide?
