Hi all and sorry for the off-topic question. I'm trying to move over to using yum instead of apt at Planet CCRMA and I'm having a hard time with kernels...
Is there a way in yum to install a particular version of a package? In particular, a particular version of a kernel? (not necessarily the latest).

A bit more, if by chance a yum expert lurks here...
I have been using in the past meta packages to make sure users install the proper core components that Planet CCRMA needs, that is, kernel, kernel alsa drivers, lib, etc, etc. So I have an empty package with just dependencies. It does not look like things are working the way I expect (or as they work with apt), I'm getting unresolved dependencies and I could swear the packages have them...
I have attached what happens when I try to install it, it finally complains with:
Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies Error: Package kernel-module-alsa-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma needs kernel-i686 = 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma, this is not available. Error: Package planetccrma-core needs kernel-i686 = 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma, this is not available.
Yet, this is what the packages offer:
# rpm -q --provides -p kernel-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma.i686.rpm kernel = 2.6.16 kernel-drm = 4.3.0 kernel-i686 = 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma kernel = 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma
# rpm -q --provides -p kernel-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma.i686.rpm kernel = 2.6.16 kernel-drm = 4.3.0 kernel-i686 = 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma kernel = 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma
It looks like the dependency is there! So, what gives?
