This is FC5T1 (with some updates from devel).

If I try to run yum update, it says:
Removing:
 kernel                  x86_64     2.6.14-1.1696_FC5  installed          84
M
kernel x86_64 2.6.15-1.1826.2.9_FC5 installed 82 M

Seems to be acting as if it doesn't recognize these as kernel packages that
should be installonly.

The yum config is stock FC5T1.


There is a plugin included in yum which will keep the running kernel (hopefully) and the newly installed kernel. It will remove the previous versions that add up to more than two kernels. Hopefully the yum plugin goes by information from uname and not just the oldest kernel versions. People might be running from the oler kernel while the newest kernel is inoperable.
