Installing the "correct" debuginfo-kernel package on CentOS 6.0

I have CentOS 6.0 server, which comes with kernel 2.6.32-71. When I instaled debuginfo-kernel rpm package (which contains the debug kernel) using yum from the centos repository, the debug kernel for kernel 2.6.32-279.2.1 got installed, which I am guessing is for CentOS 6.3.

How can I get yum to install the debuginfo-kernel package for the kerenl running in CentOS 6.0?

On a CentOS server how can I get the full kernel version number. "uname -r" only gives me "partial" release number.

> uname -r

2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64

I need the additional two numbers after "71", so I can manually download the rpm packages and install them myself.

Thank you, Ahmed.
