Hmm, I'm not SUSE employed, but answering your question is quite simple: 
There will be no udev-118 update for 10.3 - simply because too many things 
would break. Don't expect any ANY distro support by upgrading your kernel. 
Those who are adventurous enough to play these games are expected to be 
able to deal with the fallout..

Your best bet is: install new kernels with rpm -ihv (often they 
require --force also), check, what breaks, and deal with it (probably 
calling back this list)..

Of course, you can also try to rebuild udev-118 yourself.

Good luck,
Pete
