The exclude= line:
exclude=kernel-2* kernel-smp* kernel-devel kernel-hugemem* kernel-
largesmp*
needs to be in both the [base] and the [updates] section of the CentOS-
Base.repo file. The reason for the long line and not just
exclude=kernel* is the package named kernel-utils ... which is not in
centosplus but needs to be updated from the [base] and/or [updates]
repo.
You also need to exclude other packages from centosplus {that you are
using} from [base] and [updates].
also ... if you are only interested in only the kernel packages in
centosplus ... and you do not want php-5 (as and example) then you would
add this line to the centosplus repo:
includeonlypkgs=kernel*
