You should be able to simply do a zypper up.

We have removed all packages from the update channels (except some
update-test-* packages which will follow soon). The -Pool channel contains
the correct kernel, and it should get installed then from that one.

As we did not change anything else, you do not need to do a complete
re-installation.

        thanks,
          Stefan
