When I update a kernel using urpmi in Mandriva, it defaults to saving the old kernel and modules, so that it is easy to switch back to the old one if some compatibility issue arises. That's a whole lot easier than trying to get an old kernel reinstalled to get a problem system back in operation. I can't see any way to do this in YOU in 10.0. Is there some convenient (not command line rpm) way to do this in SuSE?
you might try using rsync, cp or the file manager and copy the files from /boot to someplace else BEFORE you update the kernel... just copy them back if you have issues with the new setup.

Or copy them in /boot to a different file name and add that name and associated parameters as another choice in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Stan
