speaking of said 2.6.9-42.0.8.EL kernels... updated my vmware guest centos's tonite (32bit guests on a 64bit RHEL4 host), and blam, they lost access to the vmware network adatper, eth0 didn't show up at all on them. rolled back them to 42.0.3 and eth0 reappeared.

You have to rerun vmware-config-tools.pl on a kernel change (if the vmware-tools is installed) to produce new kernel modules.

ah, thanks, yeah, I figgered that out a couple hours ago with the help of the #centos crew.

RHEL/RHN w/ up2date won't do kernel updates unless you expressly allow it with --force or something...

I know you can put a "exclude kernel*" into yum.conf or .repo but then, can you then override that without re-editing the conf ?

Pardon my ignorance, yet where do I find the latest errata or info on the most recent kernel upgrades for i386 and associated smp stuffs please?

Or is it called a changelog or?

oh, answering YOUR question :D https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0014.html

Or you can do: $ rpm --changelog -qp kernel-smp...rpm | less

This will give you the changelog from the package itself. It won't be as pretty as the RedHat Security Advisory mentioned in the link above but it's alot easier to find (IMHO) :-)
