Hum? Then you IMHO should fix something at your distribution - sorry. If
such a thing would happen on another Enterprise distribution (okay, they
never delivered a broken kernel yet as Novell did today), I easily can even
advise a non-technical customer to select the older Linux kernel from the
boot menu and wait for a working fix. Or did you ever tell a secretary via
phone how to change a grub entry on the boot prompt to even have a chance
that the system maybe boots again?

If there would be IMNSHO really proper testing, I wouldn't have to replace
/dev/sda5 by /dev/hdc5 and /dev/sda6 by /dev/hdc6 this afternoon. And I bet
there's a day where I've to change this the other way round in order to get
the system booting again...
Merry christmas
