   You could try to remove "plymouth" package, it is big and goes into   
   initrd. However, boot will be in text mode.   
      
   It might be enough bytes to make the 3 kernels fit.

   kernel is a multiversion package. If you tick the top one, it deletes   
   them all. You have to do it in the "version" tab in yast.
