I added this ti /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo:

and then ran yum install kernel

This seems to have done something, for good or bad I am not yet sure. Is this the correct procedure?

NO!!

Now you most likely have the centosplus kernel. I doubt that you need that either. That might get your serial ports working but.....

Now you need to show the output of "yum list kernel*" and uname -r so that we can tell what you need to remove and install.
