Hm. I just noticed http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/i386/RPMS/ kernel listings are i686.rpm. Could my problem be this is confusing yum as I use i386 and this is the i386 directory? Doesn't make sense since no one else seems to have this. Of course their are most likely few running Pentium II's. Searching for answers in the dark.
um, i686 is pentium pro and beyond, including P-II, P3, P4, and Core, as well as the various Athlons. AFAIK, CentOS 5 doesn't support the older i486/i585 variants

Sorry, I didn't actually say I have a Pentium II. Just implied I did.
