It's worse than that. You can rpm -ivh the new kernel to have both old and
new before doing other updates, and yast will dutifully reinstall the kernel
you just installed as well as removing the old one you kept on purpose.

:-(

So,
at least test the new kernel first before letting yast have its way, to be
sure the only kernel yast leaves you with actually works.

I always check what yast wants to install carefully. Right now, it wants to update xinelib, even though I have a version compiled by myself, which on previous suse version automatically meant "protected" status.

I will have to reinstall my rpm with release number .999 :-(

Right now with one
of my systems the factory kernels are incompatible with an X session lasting
more than a few seconds. Any more than that, and the system is instantly put
into unrecoverable sleep mode.

Ouch :-(

My 10.3 goes dozing unless there is keyboard activity or some other interrupt. I have my router permanently pinging my PC so that it doesn't sleep "on foot" - it simply stops processing, tasks stops, display stops... waiting for a mouse move, key press, network packet...
