Anyway, I had the old kernel in /boot but a /lib/modules 
with the new kernel tree.  So, I had to boot with the rescue 
system on the first CD.  After this I used the gentoo 
install docs to remind myself how to setup a chrooted 
environment using the filesystems on the disk.  I didn't 
have env-update since this is SUSE and not Gentoo, so I ran 
/etc/init.d/boot.ldconfig instead.  I could run Yast2 and 
reinstall the original kernel rpm at this point.  I got back 
to normal after that and went after the ALSA upgrade.  I 
have /boot mounting all the time now so I won't forget or 
have an auto-update foul the machine up again.
