Thanks to you, Joe and to Darryl for your assistance and I ask for some time to digest all that has been suggested because I am finding it just a tad hard going trying to get it all into perspective. I am finding that what I expect to find I am not finding and what I read (eg in the Suse manual) is not as explicit as I would like so it is kinda confusing me.
For example, above you state that doing "uname -a" will give me the current version of the kernel I am using. After a bit of puzzlement I realised (I think!) that when one boots into a 'broken' system using the installation DVD the uname -a command shows the version of the kernel used by the installation DVD to boot into the OS and *not* the actual kernel installed in the OS.
That didn't occur to me but did you boot with your system's installation cd/dvd or were you using an earlier version? Booting with the 10.2 RC1 dvd on my end shows the kernel as 2.6.18.2-23-default which matches the kernel when booting directly into 10.2 RC1.
Which is what is to expected since the kernel for 10.2 RC1 hasn't been upgraded (yet). Re the rest: see my reply to Carlos. I created a new initrd to match the latest kernel (on 10.1) but it didn't help- the error #18 message still comes up :-( .
