You are on the right track -- I had nothing but trouble with 2.6.34 and hang and
lockups. (There are also 5-20 sec. delays associated with kde4 dbus < 1.3x that
are being worked)

Begin with enabling the folliwng line in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf

multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)

This will enable you to have two (or more) kernels to be installed.


Make sure you do set multiversion.... Then a zypper up (or zypper up -t package)
will grab the new kernel (I can't recall when zypper up defaulted to package
instead of patch...)

Let us know how 2.6.36 works for you.
