Of my online machines, U1 and T2000 give correct kernel number, while U2, U10, E450, E220R, Netra X1, Fire V100, Fire V210 give wrong. Of them, most are at 3.6.0 and E450 is at 3.4.0. All are running Debian unstable and updating after each new kernel is booted up. Some correlation with PROM version - 3.35 OK, 4.30.4.d all older and inbetween ones are wrong (including 4.30.4.a). Probably not the factor.
