Ok, but noone talk about the first problem.

What is wrong is that
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.x86_64.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.x86_64.rpm

and

kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.x86_64.rpm

error: package kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.x86_64.rpm is not installed

no solution about that?
I think is not a problem related to disk spaces because yum check for
space requirement.

Maybe a rpm database's corruption.
I can try with --force but I want to check other way before.

The problem seems to be related to %post scriptlets being halted while the kernel is being installed. This problem with scriptlets not being performed were caused by SELinux labeling being incorrect and interfering with the unpacking and installing of the rpms.

In a root shell run 'setenforce 0' followed by rpm -ivh --replacefiles --replacepkgs kernel-<version>.rpm

setenforce 0 puts SELinux into permissive mode which prevent problems with SELinux interfering with the installation of rpms.

--replacefiles and --replacepkgs will overwrite the files and add files to already installed rpms without the need to use force as an option.

If this hapens to be the reason, you need to relabel your filesystem for SELinux or put init into permissive mode when installing rpms.
