mkinitcpio 0.6.7-1

$ mkinitcpio -h | grep KERNEL
-k KERNELVERSION Use KERNELVERSION. default: 2.6.34-ARCH

the above is incorrect. in the usage for -k the output of $(uname -a) is shown.
However, when actually generating the mkinitcpio /etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26.kver is sourced,
which contains:

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
ALL_kver='2.6.35-ARCH-00014-g2ff3d1f-dirty'

(yes, I built a custom 2.6.35 package, but i currently booted a 2.6.34)

look at the following commands, 2 things are wrong:
- it uses by default 2.6.35-ARCH-00014-g2ff3d1f-dirty, which is not the currently running kernel
- even though i specify 2.6.34-ARCH or 2.6.34 on the commandline, mkinitcpio ignores that

==> Running command: /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.35-ARCH-00014-g2ff3d1f-dirty -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26.img^C

The only way I managed to make it work for 2.6.34-ARCH is changing /etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26.kver and putting:
ALL_kver='2.6.34-ARCH'

in there.

It may be noteworthy that I don't have the 2.6.34 kernel package in my package database, but I do obviously have all the required files in place
(stuff in /boot, /lib/modules/ etc)
