umax s900 ims twin turbo works on 7.1 dies on 7.3 also dhcp

I was excited to get the new 7.3, however I have two major problems. I am using vmlinuz-oldworld kernel , what is the one install oldworld. the install color is screwed up in dev=imsttfb , so I set novideo, when yast2 tried to set up x11 , no mode would work so I have no KDE. It worked fine in 7.1 with the 2.4.x kernel on the cd. Help also sax2 also says it does not know about the card. My network dhcp initialized fine with my 3 com card in 7.1 , now it says it can't find dhcp in 7.3 no response. I also have an internal apple card. I was really hoping to go forward not backwards, PS the install is very pretty
