I would like to exclude a particular kernel from one machine. I have edited yum.conf like so:
exclude=kernel-2.6.8-1.521.i586
I still get that kernel in my list of upgrades. How do I specify it correctly?
Thank you.

Hm, yum will only update to the latest kernel available. So there is normally no need to exclude any specific version. But if you like I would try
exclude=kernel#2.6.8-1.521

If the latest version is the one you want to exclude.

exclude=kernel#2.6.8-1.521
Nope, didn't work. Nor did:
exclude=kernel#2.6.8-1.521.i586
However, this does work:
exclude=kernel
So I will leave it like that until the next kernel is released.
The yum version is 2.0.7.

This works with yum 2.1 - which is currently in rawhide. However you can't use this version of yum with FC1 or FC2 - as this version works with the new metadata format (so none of the FC1/FC2 repos have this)

Thank you. I take it these are effective with 2.1 & up. I've made a note in my yum repository notes. http://www.charlescurley.com/yum.html

Thank you.
Try exclude=kernel* in your /etc/yum.conf
Would a yum clean help?
