I reached the same conclusion Saturday myself. I yum remove yum and
reinstalled yum & pirut from my installation CD. The yum refused to
update the kernel. I gave up on yum and downloaded the current kernel
rpm. I rpm -i kernel* and received the following error message from rpm:

package kernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 is intended for a i686 architecture

There is my problem! uname -ipm results in i686 i686 i386. It looks like
yum is looking at uname -i.

I agree. Waaay to long. Now what do the experts have to say about this?
All packages *except* the kernel files are i386. I want to end this,
please?
