On the assumption your referring to the two directories in /usr/src. The one called 'linux' is a symlink to the other, 'linux-2.2.13.suse'. The actual kernel is named 'vmlinuz' and is located in /boot. If this is not what you meant, sorry, i can't use yast2 so I don't know what it does.
No, that was not what I meant. I am talking about the actual compiled kernels in /boot. The one called "linux" in lilo is /boot/vmlinuz. I can't recall the exact filename of the other. I don't have the kernel sources installed (I think), since I don't plan on recompiling the kernel unless I need to. I would guess that YaST2 just gives the same as the default in the old YaST. At least with the Automatic Install.
