OK, Kernel installed, and boots into run-level 3 fine. There are a
couple of error messages logged about missing acpi modules (for
specific laptops by the look of it).
Tried to install the NVidia driver and it complained about using the
wrong compiler version, which I chose to ignore, but then failed
before the compile stage with:
ERROR: The kernel header file
'/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-18-rt/build/include/linux/version.h'
does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel
source files in '/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-18-rt/build' have not been
configured.
Can boot back into the default kernel without a problem, but am
completely at a loss. I know this is getting a bit off topic for the
list but would be grateful for any further advice.

Maybe try a more recent version of nvidia drivers. Sounds yours is
quite old, version.h is gone some time already. Latest nvidia should
work fine.

It will. Anway you can't install nvidia without
the matching
sources. Try
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/su
se/x 86_64/kernel-rt-2.6.22.5-18.x86_64.rpm with
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/su
se/x 86_64/kernel-source-2.6.22.5-18.x86_64.rpm
This is the kernel for the coming openSUSE-10.3 but it still
works under 10.2.
Many thanks for that pointer. Do I need any other kernel packages
from the same place (kernel-syms for example)?
