I am trying to get off the plus kernel. Hasn't helped yet, and my MadWifi does not work with it.
So I used YUMEX to remove all of the plus kernel cruft that I could see.
I rebooted. ONly the standard kernel was listed in the boot menu (good sign).
Start up Yumex, and it is showing that the plus kernel needs updating. Nothing on the regular kernel.
Just yum update behaves the same.
So where does yum keep its 'memory', so I can remove references to the plus kernel and get back to the regular kernel?????

IIUC, yum depends on rpm. So a std "rpm -q ..." should reflect what you tells you. The diff might be in what versions exist in what repos that you have enabled and/or exludes=/includepkgs= lie therein.

Either disable the centosplus repository, or exclude the kernel from that repository. I have no idea how yumex handles this, as I'm pretty much a console only type person. For general yum behavior, read 'man yum.conf' and look at the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/

I have a similar problem but I use yum from the command line so it may be a problem with yum itself.
I installed GeoIP from Centos 'extras' repo. I also have dag setup as a repo. I have installed the protectbase plugin and it is enabled. In yum.conf I have enabled plugins. In the Centos repo file, I have all Centos repos protected and the dag repo set as unprotected.
Everytime I run yum update, it wants to 'replace' the geoip from the dag repo.
What's up with that?
TIA

Dag has it named geoip and we have it named GeoIP
those are separate packages to yum ... set exclude=geoip in your dag repo.

Thanks, Johnny, but why is yum still wanting to install it if they are separate? I thought yum was case-sensitive.
Thanks,

Because dag's package provides this:
Obsoletes: GeoIP < %{version}-%{release} Provides: GeoIP = %{version}-%{release} Provides: GeoIP-devel = %{version}-%{release} Obsoletes: GeoIP-devel < %{version}-%{release}
(notice the case)
and our package also provides the same things.
So ... they provide the same requirements BUT are named differently.
So, protectbase does not block them initially (different names), and protectbase does not recheck after the obsoletes section has one replace the other (as it sees them as different programs).
You need to pick one version to use and exclude it in the other repo.

Ah, disabled centosplus repository.
yum update ran a long time downloading headers then failed:
--> Processing Dependency: clamav-db = 0.88.4-1.el4.rf for package: clamav --> Processing Dependency: setup(fedora-usermgmt) for package: fedora-usermgmt --> Processing Dependency: instance(fedora-usermgmt) for package: fedora-usermgmt --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Now since I don't use clamav on this system, time to delete it....
