Nevertheless YOU suggests an update, which doesn't make sense IMO. The name of my kernel is vmlinuz-2.4.21-rc7-grsec, but the original vmlinuz is also in /boot.
Shouldn't it be easy to check the kernel version as a basis for the update?
YOU does check the kernel version, but not in the way you expect it to. It does check in the RPM database what version is installed and based on that decides whether an update is needed. If you didn't create a RPM package and installed that, according to the RPM database you still have the old version and an update should be performed. As long as you build RPM packages for any updates you want to perform, you can even install them via YaST and YOU will have no problem handling those. If you don't want to do that, you should refrain from using YOU and YaST as well.
