On a similar note, I received help from Jeff Spaleta
on this list to help me keep the original kernel so
that I could connect to internet. Thread " Re: tell
yum not to remove original kernel"
{I use smartlink winmodem with slmodemd, for some
reason or another newer kernels do not work with
slmodemd and slmodem-2.9.11-20051101.tar.gz from
linmodems.org]
He instructed me to do the following:
disable the installonlyn plugin
edit /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf
enabled=0
It worked for me. So I do not see why it should not
work out for you.
