Burke,
The package name will not be the file name that it was installed from.
Probably will be something like kernel-blah. Some package(r)s use the version
number and some don't in the package name. In my experience, the kernel
packages use the version number but not the target platform or processor
targeted (i.e. no i386, i586 or i686) Try
rpm -qa |grep kernel
That should give you a list of all packages installed that have kernel in the
name.
