Description Greg Nichols 2012-04-03 15:32:18 UTC 
Description of problem:

The new info test in v7 1.5 validates the tested kernel against a table of RHEL GA kernel versions to insure the SUT is running a GA kernel.   In RHEL/v7 beta, this test will always fail, as the GA kernel version is not yet known during beta.

v7's info test should allow partial matches of the version-release string during beta.  for example, if the validation file contains "2.6.32" it should match "2.6.32-220".

This will allow the validation file (/usr/share/v7/lib/v7/kernelInfo.xml) to specify a range of kernel versions during beta.   When the RHEL GA kernel is known, the updated copy v7 attempts to download can be fixed to a specific version-release.
