Comment # 37 on bug 1209436 from Peter K���ppers

I either understand but also don't understand the discussion about this bug and
it's consequences here. But this is a serious bug for some people.

For a non experienced user, this kernel leads to an unusable system.
A (slightly) experienced user will try to start the system with the previous
kernel.

Minimum a workaround like this should be mentioned here:
Go to YaST, start boatloader module and set default kernel to previous (Boot
Loader Settings - Default Boot Section). So it's possible to "sit out" the
problem until the next kernel is provided in the update stream.

That's why I putted myself to the CC list... ;-)
