Thanks Jan for all your god suggestions!

While I did not have a live DVD of 10.3 on hand, I did have the regular install 
DVD. Since I had
a "spare" partition on my harddisk, I just installed a new fresh 10.3 on that 
then mounted my
original root partition and copied the kernel files there and update grub's 
menu.lst. The machine
booted fine and I did a kernel update to the "fixed" kernel and things are back 
to normal again.

One thing I have noticed, is any time I install a release of (open)SUSE 
alongside another one,
so that I have multiple versions installed,  grub is installed again and I have 
all these grubs pointing to
other installations or other grubs on the various partitions. I can clean it 
all up after the installations
so there is only one grub, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to have 
just one "master" grub
updated no matter how many other verions one installed on their machine?

Vahe

Too 
bad, 
I 
hoped 
that 
there 
is 
still 
the 
possibility 
to 
boot 
the 
installed 
system 
with 
the 
original 
kernel.

I 
know, 
that 
was 
the 
reason 
to 
let 
Vahe 
first 
try 
it 
the 
easy 
way. 
BTW, 
there 
is
