OSS 10.0 won't boot into run level 5

A few days ago I tried to boot my laptop running OSS 10.0. During normal
boot it seems to be working fine, then it just hangs after apache is run.
I can boot into failsafe mode just fine, however if I try to init 5 from
there, it just hangs as well. The only thinkg I can think of is that there
was a recent kernel update and I think that may have hosed my system. I
tried to rollback using Yast, but there is only one version of the kernel
available. I can after booting in safe mode I can start X just fine.
Also, I noticed that acpid is now complaining that there is no kernel
support. I looked in the /boot directory for previous kernels, but I guess
Yast removes them as well. Does anyone have any ideas how to return to a
previous kernel or how to fix the current problem. I did try to re-install
acpid hoping maybe some modules would be re-installed, but that did not
help. Thanks.

If and only if you are using the supplementary KDE 3.5 packages, see the
thread in this group "kdebase3-kdm-3.5.1-27 /etc/init.d/earlykdm hangs"
starting on 2006-02-25.

There should be a newer one now with ending .33 which fixes the earlykdm
script error.
