Maybe because yum looks at the repos only, or because the installonlyn plugin wants to remove this kernel? I have no idea, I only know that the error sais that /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.1-32.fc6 is missing from yum's persepctive. This could be due to a missing package in yum's depsolving, broken metadata indicating loss of this package or its filelist, a bug in yum, a corrupted rpmdb etc. What this is not is a missing kmdl for a given kernel. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
