Is there a way to stop the kernel getting updated?

I am using livna's ati drivers and as the kernel is getting upgraded
its not installing.

This is the Error I'm getting.


---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.23.1-49.fc8 set to be updated

Missing Dependency: kernel-i686 = 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 is needed by package
kmod-fglrx-2.6.23.1-42.fc8

trying to use yum's exclude option and that's not working either

sudo yum --exclude=kernel-i686 update

How would I go about configuring the excludes by hand?
