Yeah, this is the rolling updates thing I was telling you about.  The
Beta1 kernel was 2.6.17+several git repos and patches.  We've since
updated to 2.6.18, but that was released as an update to the Beta1 isos
and trees via RHN.  So, I don't think you'll see the kernel unless you
either 1) use up2date to refresh the beta system or 2) download later
iso images and look at the kernel present.  The current kernel version
is 2.6.18-1.2717.el5.
