Yes.

It doesn't matter, the kmdl looks into the appropriate folders, it
doesn't interfere with the running kernel.
I use something like the following (after having installed/upgrade the
kernel rpms). It works with arbitrary kernel rpms (kernel, kernel-smp,
kernel-suspend2-xen0 etc) and on both FC and RHEL.
kernels=`rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-* | grep -v "^file .* is not owned by any
package"`
uname_rs=`rpm -ql $kernels | grep ^/boot/vmlinuz- | sed
-e's,^/boot/vmlinuz-\(.*\)$,\1,'`
for kmdl in `rpm -qa \*kmdl\* | sed -e's,-kmdl-.*,-kmdl,' | sort -u`; do
for uname_r in $uname_rs; do
package=${kmdl}-$uname_r
rpm -q $package > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo $package
done
done | xargs -r smart install
(it's untested in the form above - I ripped this out of my
upgrading/installing anaconda scripts)
