No, you need to start the live system in the rescue dvd, mount your root filesystem, and chown to it.

As somebody else wrote (Anders Johansson):

] In the past few releases, you can't just do a chroot from the rescue ] system. You have to (assuming the root partition is mounted on /mnt)
]
] mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
] mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
] mount -o bind /dev /proc/dev
]
] then you can do the chroot

Once you do the chroot, you can fire up yast and force a reinstall of the kernel.

In theory, the automatic rescue thing should work, but... :-?


Is there a way to configure yast to not delete an old kernel when a new one is
installed?

No.
