correctly

This bug has been exacerbated by the new kernel naming convention.
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.14-cph3
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.14-cph2
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.14.2-cph1
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13.4-cph1
where the 2.6.14.2 kernel should come first. Obviously, this is
partially my own fault, for using a suffix that starts with "-", but
the sorting algorithm should probably try to identify the "standard"
part of the kernel version (3 or 4 numerical values separated by
dots) and treat it specially.
