Well, but by that method the old kernel is not listed by rpm. Instead, you 
can download the kernel update manually and install it manually: this way 
you can have both kernels listed.

It would be a nice feature if Yast could do this trick with vital rpms.

What yast does is an update of the kernel rpm, meaning that the old one is 
uninstalled and the new one installed.
