You should definitely mention this to your distribution creator. IMHO, it's seriously broken if uname -r isn't distinct. Debian is unfortunately a victim of this; I have modded my kernel-image source package to *fix* it. I don't recall RedHat having this problem, but other RPM based I don't know. Can you say what your distro is?
Cheers,
