That's an unsolvable problem: You want a "stable" distribution from year X to support hardware designed and built in the future. And BTW perhaps it is enough to take the kernel RPM (+ plus a few of the kernel-near ones - dependencies will probably tell you) from the most recent SuSE and try that if you for whatever reason want to stay with the above release.
