Boot Does Not Work After Update 10.2 -> 10.3

I updated from Opensuse 10.2 to 10.3.
Everything worked fine, except that 10.3 did not boot after reboot.
Kernel message was: "Waiting for device ..."
As the repair option crashed everytime, I searched in the internet but could not find any solution (That's why I write this down now).
In my case the problem was, that I had installed in 10.2 Vanilla kernel 2.6.24 and 10.3 has kernel version 2.6.22.
The updater did not update the kernel automatically. I guess because he "thought" the installed one is newer.

Solution: Manually select the kernel packages for update to the 10.3 Version (2.6.22).

Afterwards the system booted in my case.

not sure what do you mean by that.
you can install on suse 10.2 even the latest (2.6.25.4) or any future kernel safely.

difficult to say what mistakes have you made, but great that you got it working
