I'm going to guess that SUSE will fix it. It's a security fix, but I don't 
know what was "broken" in the kernel. Whatever, I'm not going to try a kernel 
update again till I know they've made sure I won't have to reinstall - again! 
'4 times today - failed every time. The 5th, I updated all but the kernel.
