I've confirmed that my running kernel is also my installed kernel (ie:
I didn't get a kernel update, but fail to reboot to it). Any thoughts
on a resolution? The only solution I see is for the needed package to
made available online. This is a "production" system, so I'd prefer to
avoid an forced updates or backing out installed packages to get the
update to run. Doing a dist upgrade is also not an option right now...
