1) kernel patch (read 'zypp patch named "kernel"') really was installed as you
   can see from the summary and from e.g. 'zypper patches'. This does not
   literally mean installing, but installing the packages required by the patch.

2) yes, kernel-source and kernel-syms really do not require reboot, but the path
   updates also kernel-*-2.6.25.11-0.1, that's why the reboot flag is set. So you
   probably already had kernel >= 2.6.25.11-0.1 installed, so it was not
   installed by the patch. We have the 'reboot' information only on the
   patch-level, we can't tell which packages require reboot.
