[CentOS] What wrote to /etc/rpm/platform! Was: Yum not updating kernel

Thought I should start a new thread since the subject has changed.

It seems I have lost some email. I logged out Tuesday night and couldn't
log back in. I had some unexpected problems reinstalling and also some
commitments. Finally back! Whew! I *hate* reinstalls!

Anaconda is not the problem in modifying /etc/rpm/platform
As I install packages I will check the platform file.
