It does...BUT, when I do an strace, I get - 

access("/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

without the "/boot" in front - this is curious and probably has something to do with
the anaconda stuffup when I upgraded and my /boot partition disappeared.  I've not been
able to figure that one out yet.

THEOREM: VI is perfect.
PROOF: VI in roman numerals is 6.  The natural numbers < 6 which divide 6 are
1, 2, and 3. 1+2+3 = 6.  So 6 is a perfect number.  Therefore, VI is perfect.
