Starting Yast and Program Management, then forcing an update to the 3.4.11-2.16-desktop kernel that was already loaded corrected the problem for future reboots. If there is a better way to do this in grub2 you might leave it as a comment here for others that have this problem. Even better if you have a link to instructions on a better way.
