Your comment isn't quite right...  You'll naturally only pick up the
kernels that `rpm` knows about.  Oh and only the 2.X series by your
grep, but who has a 1.X series kernel running these days?

An implicit assumption that people only use RPM's isn't exactly wrong
(it's probably right for most) but it won't show ALL the installed
kernels.

You could stat out the directory's in /lib/modules/ and that should give
you all the kernels, unless you do a monolithic kernel with no modules! 
:)

Cheers,
Chris
