I'll report after running it for a few days.
If you have the time, would you please tell me the steps you went through to build and install your kernel. Or reference any documentation pointers. When I was doing this a lot lilo was the boot loader and things were really simple. All you had to do was rename the new kernel. But there are a lot of opensuse patches, some of which probably should be retained. And I never did anything where systemd loaded the modules. I have not even figured out where the config files that say what modules to load are, and how that decision is made. I tried to join the kernel list to watch the emails and see what they were doing, but I have not been able to because of Comcast email restrictions. The documentation I found using Google is either really old or references just replacing one RPM with another.
If this is pain forget it. If you have notes in a convenient form maybe you could email them to me. I used to build kernels all the time when I wrote drivers for our telescope control systems. But that was way back in 2006.

Don, FYI only: The openSUSE team maintains current stable kernels for recent openSUSE releases: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Kernel:stable You can see lots of packages there, but lets assume you want the standard openSUSE desktop variant of the kernel. That takes you to: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Kernel:stable/kernel-desktop You can see all the patches that are applied etc. There are various links available on the page. Spend 5 minutes moving your mouse around and exploring. In particular click on "standard" and see the list of RPMs built by the package. I also always like to look at the "changes" file. In this case kernel-desktop.changes has === ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 14 15:36:11 CEST 2015 - mmarek@suse.cz - rpm/kernel-obs-qa.spec.in: Do not fail if the kernel versions do not match - commit 28e9e74 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 14 08:32:12 CEST 2015 - jlee@suse.com - Update config files.

When you're ready to install a kernel from that package, click on download package in the upper right hand corner and it leads you through doing the upgrade.
