I have tried today and at least twice last week since the release of 5.3 
on Tuesday and got past the yum update glibc step just fine and have 
already done yum clean all several times and get through the first part 
of the yum update where you have to answer y and then it downloads all 
of the packages it seems but errors out and says that the kernel is not 
available on any mirrors.
The system is running 32 Bit CentOS 5.2.
It is a Pentium D system.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Is there a fix in progress for it?
  
    
      
could you give the exact error message, also what kernel you're running 
now, and any changes you may have made to /etc/yum.repos.d/* ?

I am also getting the error message on a Celeron 500 that has 5.2 that I 
am trying to update.

I have a similar problem. Dual PIII Dell server.

Following the directions to upgrade from 5.2 -> 5.3. I ran "yum clean all" and "yum update glibc" successfully. Though when trying to do a yum upgrade I receive the following errors:

I'm currently on kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5


I had no problem upgrading two recent installs, but this is an older install that I do not update as regularly.
