Up to now, when one ask for a new kernel : urpmi kernel, the answer is 'no kernel' found (or sometimes the -mm one).

If you do the same for urpmi kernel-26 (or kernel-2.6, i don't remember), then the full kernel list is displayed.

This behaviour has been introduced, i presume, for the 2.4 to 2.6 switch.

Cooker and fufure 2007 will probably not provide 2.4 (i think 2006 has already dropped it), so i think it is now safe to have kernel as provides from 2.6's kernel instead of kernel-2.6.

This is a small thing but quite annoying (and quite hard to explain why it is so in front of a client.

Hoping to help :-)
