based on this output ... somehow your kernel is excluded in update set, even though it sees kernel-doc.noarch and kernel-headers.i386.

This leads me to believe that there is a "exclude=kernel" somewhere in a config file:

I just read man yum.conf again and I see this:

installonlypkgs List of packages that should only ever be installed, never updated. Kernels in particular fall into this category. Defaults to ‘kernel, kernel-smp, kernel-bigmem, kernel-enterprise, kernel-debug, kernel-unsupported’.

What I missed is "never updated". If this is my problem, how do I fix it?

please check /etc/yum.conf again

No exclude in any config file.

Thanks again!
