need more info to even start looking at the issues involved, what version of yum and what do you have defined for kernelpkgs= in the yum config's ?

No kernelpkgs= line at all - I think the configuration is pretty close to the default install, will check later today on a freshly installed machine...

I can confirm that kernel-smp-devel and kenrel-hugemem-devel are upgrade and not install packages via yum. This is not a problem for booting, just for building things on older kernels. This is a yum issue that can be worked around if you want (I don't think everyone would want the devel packages as install ... at least I don't anything but the latest kernel-devel packages, except on a couple devel machines).

If you want to make kernel-smp-devel and kernel-hugemem-devel be install vice update, then add them to a line like this:

installonlypackages=kernel-smp-devel kernel-hugemem-devel

that should make it work the way you want.

Thanks, this wasn't so much an issue with it being upgrade instead of install but just seemed like an inconsistency - there's conceptually no difference between kernel-devel and kernel-smp-devel and they were being handled differently...

I agree with you here, they should both be handled in exactly the same manner.
