To boot the previous kernel, you intervene during the boot-up
process, and add ".old" appropriately to the boot-line when
it comes up in grub.
Additionally, you can always add an entry to grub to make this
even easier.

working config if Yast and/or the new kernel borks my system? I recall this discussion, but googling, I can't find the old posts. With all the recent YOU kernel update problems, I want to make sure I can get back to my old kernel and config. Thanks!
