As far as I know, YOU no longer installs patch rpms (Those appear to be in the 
repo, but are not used. Anyone know why? This is also true with the 'smart 
package manager', which I use). It reinstalls the entire new version rpm. You 
can go to YaST, find the kernel package and from the Versions tab tell YaST 
exactly which version you would like to be installed. That is, if you 
remember the exact version prior to your update. If it is the kernel-source 
package that troubles you (you said something about sources, but didn't 
specify what sources), have in mind that you can have multiple versions of 
that package simultaneously installed. You can remove each of those, if you 
don't actually need the kernel source for compiling something else.
