Jack- This isn't a yum bug. It's a result of kernel-doc changing from being an i386 rpm to a noarch one (more of a distribution bug). By default yum.conf sets exactarch=1, which will prefer your machine's natural architecture (i386 and related ones) over other architectures (noarch). You could probably do the following: rpm -e kernel-doc change exactarch to 0 yum install kernel-doc and then switch back, or you could just download the new kernel-doc rpm and install it yourself. From here on out the updates will pick up the new architecture.
