I assume that you can install the system and the installations works fine. In this case use a init-script to install the required kernel since at this stage you have full control over the system. Thus you can use zypper and an fix-repro which contains the required kernel or download the kernel and install via RPM . As Uwe mentioned you should look afterwards the kernel packages so they do not replaced from an update.

We are running in to some problems with our autoyast installs. The problem is not directly connected to autoyast, but to the kernel version beeing selected via autoyast. One of out most important piece of software are having problems with the newest kernel from Novell, kernel-default-2.6.32.46, and fails to start. With the previous version of the kernel, kernel-default-2.6.32.45 everything works as expected. Since we can not halt installation of new servers until the software is fixed, we need to automatically choose kernel-default-2.6.32.45 during installation. I have looked through the autoyast documentation and I can see that I'm able to select a kernel using <kernel>kernel-default</kernel> in the software selection. I have tried to specify the kernel version aswell, but by doing this autoyast selects a different kernel, for example kernel-ec2. Is there any way to specify the kernel version? I tried with: <kernel>kernel-default-2.6.32.45</kernel> and <kernel>kernel-default-2.6.32.45-0.3.2.1</kernel>, but with luck.. All help would be greatly appreciated!
