The following updated files have been uploaded and are currently syncing to the mirrors:
i386: kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i586.rpm kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i586.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.noarch.rpm kernel-hugemem-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm kernel-hugemem-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i586.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i586.rpm kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm

I wonder if a change in the naming convention for centosplus kernels might be in order? Had to think a bit to understand why yum was not showing me the new errata kernel until I realized that
2.6.9-34.106.unsupported > 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELin the sorting order. I downloaded from a mirror and forced the install:
[root@tabb1 RPMS]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package kernel-2.6.9-34.106.unsupported (which is newer than kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL) is already installed [root@tabb1 RPMS]# rpm -ivh --force kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:kernel ########################################### [100%] [root@tabb1 RPMS]#
Similar problems for kernel-devel and kernel-doc RPMS.
If the name for the last centosplus/unsupported version had been kernel-2.6.9-34.unsupported.106 (or similar) the new version[s] would have been offered for installation, and since (I believe)
unsupported.106 > EL
for rpm/yum, the new centosplus kernels would still be installable if that repo is configured.

I wonder if unsupported > EL ... if not, I guess we could use UN ... I am pretty sure "UN > EL".
I will work this out and starting with the 4.4 kernels we will implement it that way.
(unsupported or UN substituted for EL)
