I tried updating two systems this morning.  One refused because it
required a newer mkinitrd than was available, the other went ahead,
despite there not being a newer mkinitrd.  Both are i686 systems, but
the one that succeeded still had a FC6 kernel on it (not used though,
and it was deleted by the update).
