Just curious. What is wrong with installing, instead of a old version. Installing a current version and downgrading the kernel?
I do this all the time on My gear. But not on live persistent usb installs. Live is read only. Also. What is wrong with doing a full install install to usb. Instead of live with persistence?
Then kernel changes would be a breeze then.
Just wondering if this whole thread needs re thinking is all.

You would've wanted SUSE 8.2 - by 9.2 they took out the YaST/linuxrc persistent configuration tools. But glad you got it to work. If you feel your problem is solved, please mark this thread as "Solved". Good luck!
