if i understand you correctly, you already upgraded your system to openSUSE 11.3. 
do you have any problems with the standard kernel, or do you just want to try the 
'latest & greatest' kernel available?

judging from your question, you don't seem to be too familiar with openSUSE, but 
according to your email signature, you're studying something like "system 
engineering" or whatever, and are a long time linux user. it might be useful to 
read some more about kernel installation / compilation under openSUSE by searching 
the forums for this topic (http://forums.opensuse.org) or the mailing list 
archives (http://lists.opensuse.org/).

you find the kernel repo here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/

and here's information about the "kernel of the day," a daily snapshot of the 
kernel git repository: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Kernel_of_the_day

needless to say, any of these things may break your system if not done properly. 
(tip: to install a new kernel via yast or zypper but leave the previous kernel 
intact, you'll have to edit /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, un-commenting the line that reads 
"multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)").
