You don't think you want to do a yum update for the kernel. The kernel
should always be installed. I do not think yum distinguishes with
packages in that fashion, (updates if it is a "regular" package and does
an actualy install for packages such as the kernel).
Have you tried:
yum install kernel ?
Give that a shot, hope this helps,
