Guess you are right. The vmlinuz on the boot.iso and the one in pxeboot
are identical, being the i686 kernel from the rpm. Seems the kernel-BOOT
(generic kernel you speak of) is no longer in use. Weird. Although I
don't think the i686 kernel uses cpu specific instructions the
kernel-BOOT for installation was there for a reason (just platform
compatibility?)
