I've filed a feature request #305311 to allow multiple kernel installes.
The intention is to always keep at least the current working kernel
installed. Maybe a sysconfig setting allows to control how many kernels
are kept. A setting to 0 would make people happy which are used to deal
with the dafault pain since ages.

Would such an option have have saved you time?

Sure.

Fixing bootloader configuration would be another step that will allow to boot
that fallback kernel.

Boot was dependable as death in many SUSE versions, until someone started to
play with it few years ago.

Now I check /boot and /boot/grub/menu.lst after every kernel update and before
reboot, to make sure that it will boot again, and also to cleanup menu.lst
from redundant entries and lengthy names that is not easy to read.
