Installation CD has kernel-BOOT...i386 so you can use this one. In the
updates there is no reason to release kernel-BOOT as no RHN user needs
rebuild installation CD but needs update kernel-BOOT.
Actually, the CD now has the i586 kernel (so that it can have ACPI) and
only the boot disk is left with i386 kernel-BOOT
