Bob,

        Next best thing is to fire up yast, from the left-column choose 
repositories
from the drop-down. Highlight your kernel:/HEAD repo, then:

Packages -> All listed packages -> update if newer version is available.

(your zypper up probably choked due to 'kernel-source' being replaced)

If all else fails, I usually just download the new kernel files I need into a
directory, then I do:

rpm -Ivh *.rpm

(check the errors to make sure that it is just choking on kernel-source or some
other easily explainable file dependency that you are going to replace anyway)
Then when you have satisfied yourself, do:

rpm -Ivh --replacepkgs --replacefiles *.rpm

or just

rpm -Ivh --force *.rpm

(--force is just shorthand for --replacepkgs --replacefiles)
