Any suggestions? I don't even have an idea how to "downgrade" the kernel...
Never update the kernel package. Always install it. The kernel people made a great job several years ago by allowing multiple kernel installs with SUSE kernel packages in parallel. The only limit is the file system size of /boot The trouble still is YaST which isn't able to differenciate install and update for the kernel packages. A feature request is filed. With this strategy it's always possible to boot with the last working kernel. But back to your case: I fear you have to boot from a CD if your / file system depens on the RAID. As soon as you have the rescue system up mount the system to /mnt mount /dev, /proc, /sys to the dirs in /mnt/ rpm -ivh --root=/mnt --oldpackage <the working kernel verion rpm> chroot /mnt mkinitrd With mkinitrd I'm not sure if you're able to call it from outside the chroot. If your root fs doesn't depend on the RAID it gets easier as you don't nned to boot the rescue system.
