My surprise was to how large of a gap there was between kernel versions. (1329 to 1340)

 rpm -qa |grep kernel
*kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1340_FC4*
GFS-kernel-2.6.11.7-20050519.153509.FC4.1
*kernel-doc-2.6.11-1.1340_FC4*
kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1329_FC4
kernel-2.6.11-1.1329_FC4
cman-kernel-2.6.11.4-20050517.141233.FC4.5
gnbd-kernel-2.6.11.2-20050420.133124.FC4.27
*kernel-2.6.11-1.1340_FC4*
dlm-kernel-2.6.11.4-20050517.141233.FC4.5

No additional modules were pushed to rawhide, but the kernel-1340 installed without complaints from yum. I supposed that the module would need to be different for the new kernel version. I was wrong with this assumption.

 locate gfs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1329_FC4/kernel/fs/gfs/gfs.ko

As a test of the database being updated after running updatedb, I ran this and modules in the kernel showed up.

locate i810.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1340_FC4/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i810.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1340_FC4/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i810.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1329_FC4/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i810.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1329_FC4/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i810.ko

<Overfiend> Don't come crying to me about your "30 minute compiles"!!  I
            have to build X uphill both ways!  In the snow!  With bare
            feet! And we didn't have compilers!  We had to translate the
            C code to mnemonics OURSELVES!
<Overfiend> And I was 18 before we even had assemblers!
