They are different packages:
$ yum list kernel\*
Available Packages
kernel.i686 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 updates
kernel.i586 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 updates
kernel-PAE-debug.i686 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 updates
kernel-PAE-debug-devel.i686 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 updates
kernel-debug.i686 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 updates
kernel-debug-devel.i686 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 updates
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 updates
Just install the kernel package - this will be the default update.
Using default updates results in the kernel-debug default. Now I get a
PCI warning message at boot time and a message at the bottom of the
screen "Kernel alive" that I didn't see before.
