Robert... just install a Suse 8.0 machine and do the kernel upgrade...
you'll see the messages and the kernel panic A.S.A.P. after the reboot...
then boot with a cd and "boot the installed system" when Yast ask about
"Install a new..." "Upgrade an existing..." and "Boot installed" ...you'll
see exactly what I'm talking about...
