You have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, find the entry you use, something like:
###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title openSUSE 11.1 - 2.6.27.7-4 root (hd0,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.7-4-pae root=/dev/disk/by-label/160_test resume=/dev/disk/by-label/320_swap splash=silent showopts vga=0x317 initrd /initrd-2.6.27.7-4-pae
replace (mutandis mutandi) /vmlinuz-2.6.27.7-4-pae with /vmlinuz, and /initrd-2.6.27.7-4-pae with /initrd. Should work.
My menu.lst shows this:
