Stumbled accidentally over a way to boot the kernel: you can select "Advanced Options ..." for every Linux installation and then you get a submenu where you can choose the kernel. It's not optimal, since the menu text is always the same ("openSuSE 15.1." or so) and I have to count to get the correct kernel. Should have found this earlier... :(, but it works for now.

On my desktop, there are two LEAP systems, 15.0 and 15.1. grub is managed by the older version 15.0. Now, i found that on 15.1, an old version of the kernel is used rather than the latest patch:
~\:08:39:37 > uname -a Linux linux-riut 4.12.14-lp151.27-default #1 SMP Fri May 10 14:13:15 UTC 2019 (862c838) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ~\:08:56:31 > uname -r 4.12.14-lp151.27-default ~\:08:56:39 >
The kernel patch in use seems to be the first of LEAP 15.1. Auto-Update is active and the new kernel really is installed:
~\:09:59:26 > ls -l /boot | grep vmlinuz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 16. Aug 20:23 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7331952 15.

There are no such problems on the 15.0-system.
I figured, I should let grub refresh its boot entries, so I started the boot configuration in Yast on 15.0, but had no success with it.
Maybe, i could simply delete the old kernels manually? But how can i avoid this from happening every time a new patch is released?
