Did # yum --enable updates-testing install kernel and in addition to the desired version, yum wanted to install the i586 kernel from core. Added "--disable core" and got the new kernel I wanted. Rebooted and works OK but out of curiosity did # yum install kernel and was offered the i586 2849 kernel from updates corresponding to the i686 version I already have installed: # rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686 kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.i686 kernel-2.6.18-1.2860.fc6.i686 # yum install kernel.i686 says "Nothing to do." as would be expected. Couldn't find a yum Bugzilla entry on this problem. Anyone else seen this behavior? Should this be bugzilled or am I misunderstanding something?
