I found a bit more wierdness: fou4s doesn't always report the running
version
correctly. The version reported as the running version is the $KERNELVER
saved 
in the rpmcache, not the one obtained from /procfs.


Using Kernel        kernel-smp (running: 2.6.5-7.111-smp, installed:
2.6.5-7.111)
...
The running kernel (2.6.5-7.108-smp) is different from installed kernel
(2.6.5-7.111). 
You must reboot your machine to make the kernel update effective.

# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.5-7.111-smp (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE
Linux)) ...
