Axel,
There's a fundamental misunderstanding here about using rpm -i. You
claim that it does not function for kmods. Most of us consider your
examples for this an upgrade path rather than an install path.

not give the desired behavior. rpm -i should not be used for an upgrade
path as it does not work for any package at all.
IMO, seems to be an argument for using the uname-r mechanism, so no such
problems, misunderstandings occur.
