There is some critical software, Apani VPN, that I need, but will not
build on using the SusE 10.3 kernel.
Apani software did build using 10.2 kernel.
Apani will not have a solution for a while, so I was wondering if I
could install the 10.2 kernel so that I can use the Apani software?
What problems will I have installing 10.2 software?

You might be able to run a virtual instance of 10.2 under 10.3...

There might be problems with the kernel interfaces where scripts and
programs expect a changed behaviour due to subtile changed interfaces of
the newer kernel,
