I just installed CentOS-5 but when I try to update I get this:

Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.18-8.1.10.el5) is already installed

Error Summary -------------

The problem is with kmod-gfs and kmod-gnbd. I have tried cleaning yum so I am thinking the difficulty lies in the packaging. How do I resolve this short of removing the offending packages?
