This just means that the newer kernels will be installed instead of
replacing the old kernels packages.  It doesn't mean that newer kernels
will not be installed at all.

Sheesh, I thought you got your update issues sorted out a long time
ago. :)  Just give someone from this list root on your box already so we
can see this for ourselves. :)
