Rebuilding the kernel src.rpm and comparing the resulting extracted binaries would be a good stress test. Something along these lines: boot to updates-testing kernel mkdir original cd original rpm2cpio kernel-from-updates-testing.i686.rpm | cpio -idv cd .. mkdir rebuild cd rebuild rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 kernel-from-updates-testing.src.rpm rpm2cpio kernel-just-rebuilt.i686.rpm | cpio -idv cd .. diff -ur original rebuild
