Re: kernel patch loading but not updating KernelID

I ran into something similar with one of my Ultra-60's but with an
earlier kernel patch.  I ended up backing out the kernel patch and all
other patches that had it as a prerequisite and then reinstalling
all of those patches.  (I think I even backed out more than one
revision of the kernel patches).  After reinstalling the patches,
the machine booted with the correct version of the kernel.
