A guess:  At some stage, some kernel modules or kernel-version-specific
drivers got installed with a prior i586 kernel, so it wants to update
one i586 kernel with the next one.  Even though you've also got i686
kernels.

You could try removing all the i586 kernels.

[tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr
2.6.22.1-27.fc7 i686 i386

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.

Tim,

There has never been an i586 kernel installed on this machine.  yum has tried and has not succeeded in doing that. 
When fc6 was running on it, it wanted to install 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i586 kernel, which I did not let it do. Now it wants to install 3194.fc7.i586.  

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa kernel*
kernel-headers-2.6.22.1-27.fc7
kernel-2.6.21-1.3226.fc7
kernel-devel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7
kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
kernel-devel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
kernel-devel-2.6.21-1.3226.fc7
kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7
[root@localhost ~]# uname -iprm
2.6.22.1-27.fc7 i686 athlon i386

I have to tell yum directly what I need to download.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this issue.

Regards,

Antonio
