I am installing 32-bit FC4 on two different PCs. One is a new
Intel-chipped 64 bit Dell Optiplex and uses the smp kernel and
everything is fine there. The other is Pentium 4 3.0GHZ and I noticed
it was defaulting to the smp kernel. Perhaps by mistake I chose some
wrong options? I was following Stanton Finley's notes. When I came to
do the NTFS I realised I should not select smp but just i686. So then
I switched away from the smp kernel. I am wondering why I am still at
2.6.11-1.1369 as I have run yum update previously
uname gives 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 i686
Anyway to cut a long story short, yum update now gives me this (at the
end) in either kernel:
Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies
Error: Package dlm-kernel needs /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1653_FC4, this is
not available.

Thanks for any assistance to sort out the mess
It looks like you did an "everything" install and have a bunch of kernel
modules that you probably aren't using (if you don't know what
dlm-kernel etc. are, you're probably not using them). Updates for these
modules tend to lag behind the main kernel updates and you get the
problem you are seeing. Easiest fix is just to uninstall those modules:
# yum remove dlm-kernel cman-kernel GFS-kernel gnbd-kernel
