Yum Kernel Solution

[Lee Tambiah]

So yum avoids updating your kernel, do the following.

1. Open terminal.
2. Log in as Super User, Su -
3. enter: cd /etc/
4. enter: ls yum.conf
5. yum.conf should appear
6. enter: gedit yum.conf or emacs yum.conf depending on your editor.
7. The following should be displayed:

[main]

cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

8. Below [main] add the following:-
exclude=kernel
9. Save and exit.
10. Now yum will not update your kernel.
