How to include bugfix in installation source?

Hi,

http://www.novell.com/linux/download...93_x86_64.html seems to fix a
kernel problem, which prevents me from installing SuSE 9.3 Professional on a
dual core X86_64 machine.

How do I update my installation source with this fix? Since the bug prevents
me from installing, I cannot simply do a "you" after installation. Can I
simply overwrite /suse/x86_64/kernel-smp-2.6.11.4-20a.x86_64.rpm with
/update/x86_64/kernel-smp 2.6.11.4-21.9.x86_64.rpm or do I have to replace
dependent files too?

Any Idea?

Christian

Can you do the install with nosmp at the boot prompt, and then replace the
kernel via you?

That's basically what I do, see my posting
<FBh_e.2005$jT.623@prv-forum2.provo.novell.com>
in opensuse.org.suse-linux.support.install-configure-administration. But
it's a bit tedious. Isn't there a better way?
