Comment (by cjb):
Yes, you do need to update the symlink by hand.
I think the history behind why this doesn't work is that we're using
Fedora kernel RPMs (in which /boot/vmlinuz isn't special) and OpenFirmware
(which expects /boot/vmlinuz to point to the current kernel). No-one's
yet modified the specfile to handle updating the symlink.
