You can always grab lx_suse.rpm and compile your own. Or get the tar
instead of the rpm version of the SuSE sources directly from
ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/

Yes, I do believe the binary kernel rpm's will also work in 6.3. Kernel
is kernel, if not it can only be something else, like file locations
(where is it installed, what's you lilo.conf).
