New FC 8 kernel RPMS in updates

[Steven Moix]

Yes, my machine is registered, but if you look at the smolt stats, they
don't seem to be updated...the stats are 2 weeks old.

I don't know if it's a bug on smolts.org or if the stats are only
updated monthly or so...

Btw, I'm searching an XP1000 somewhere in Europe if someone has a tip :)
