Youuuu're not really doing anything wrong, but you can help yum pick
the proper kmdls (at the first time only) by adding foo-kmdl-`uname
-r` to the install line. Later yum-plugin-kmdl will do the right thing
(if you have it installed).

The reason for the failure you see is that yum is too strict on the
repos. As 2.6.22.1-24.fc6 (or some other testing kernel) may be
dropped anytime into "updates" and users will want to be able to use
the kmdls immediately I need to offer them already in atrpms-stable.

yum's behaviour can be fixed by using the yum-skip-broken plugin (or
similar named). That plugin makes yum not break when there are
unfulfilled dependencies in some repo (either accidentially or
intended as in this case).
