I know they do it via yum which SuSE does not use. Is there a simple way to retain several kernel versions in OpenSuSE/SLES?
As of openSUSE 11.1 this became relatively easy using zypper (the Yum counterpart in openSUSE) for upgrading. Just set the name of any package you want to retain for multiple versions in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf. Once so configured zypper will not automatically remove the older versions. You'll have to cull obsoletes as desired yourself with YaST, zypper rm, or rpm -e. -- I found this line, uncommented it:
