    I am unable to remove the offending kernel using yum install
    kernel-2.1.26-1.3228.* or any variations on that theme, nor can I
    install it.  No matter what it says there's nothing to do? 

    And from what I can determine Yumex can't remove anything at all? 
    It's fine for installing ...  I never tried to uninstall with it
    before but I see no way.

    So I guess the best I can do is wait for another update to come
    along.  The computer works fine with the earlier kernel it's just
    bothering me that I can't fix it.
