A guess: At some stage, some kernel modules or kernel-version-specific drivers got installed with a prior i586 kernel, so it wants to update one i586 kernel with the next one. Even though you've also got i686 kernels. You could try removing all the i586 kernels. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7. Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists. -- Tim, There has never been an i586 kernel installed on this machine. yum has tried and has not succeeded in doing that. When fc6 was running on it, it wanted to install 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i586 kernel, which I did not let it do. Now it wants to install 3194.fc7.i586.
