Can somebody assist in getting this fixed?

Your /boot has not enough space. 98M is not really big enough for installing 3 kernels.

I would suggest to remove Kernel-3.16.7-24 before trying the upgrade again.
E.g. use YaST’s “Versions” tab, or run:

sudo zypper rm kernel-desktop-3.16.7-24.1

And it would definitely be a good idea to increase the partition size of /boot, or not use a separate /boot at all.
