If your updating with zypper I don't think there is a way to switch away from 
kernel-default. But when I agreed to this rename, the general idea was that
kernel-default would still boot on such CPUs. But somehow we lack test 
machines with such CPUs, so we were basically wild guessing from the code ;(

I'm not sure if we can fix this before Milestone2 - but first I need to find
an "old" machine.

Greetings, Stephan
