if you still need to exclude kernels in your yum.conf file, please do it like this instead:
exclude=kernel kernel-devel kernel-doc kernel-smp* kernel-hugemem* kernel-largesmp*
Shouldn't "we" change accordingly /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date? Smth like: pkgSkipList=kernel; kernel-devel; kernel-doc; kernel-smp*; kernel-hugemem*; kernel-largesmp*;
instead of the default: pkgSkipList=kernel*;
OTOH, the newly provided up2date-4.4.69-25.centos4.7 made no change to my config files! (I diff'ed against a backup.) I don't get what sources were corrected and how?!
And finally, should't the "refined kernel exclusions" be included in re-issued yum and up2date?
Sorry for bothering you, as you do a great job and my upgrade 4.3->4.4 was almost painless, practically one of the painless I've ever had (the worst in my life being a SuSE 10.0 -> 10.1).
