if that's not a problem in your software but in the kernel update, please 
create a bugreport for that.

I'm afraid that's not possible.
You can tell zypper to install a specific version by doing
"zypper in kernel-default-2.6.32.45" but autoyast itself is not able to deal 
with version numbers in the <package> description.
Maybe you can try to install the other kernel somehow with a chroot-script but 
that's the only (quite ugly) solution that comes to my mind.

I'm not sure if a file like:

cat /etc/zypp/locks
type: package
match_type: glob
case_sensitive: on
solvable_name: kernel-default-2.6.32.46

would work in the inst-sys
Worth a try maybe.

There is no officially supported way in autoyast to achieve what you need.
