I'm having the same problem as Valent Turkovic. I have the following /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo (mind the line-wraps):

I have missed any fixes for this since the suggestion to comment the mirrorlist line and uncomment the baseurl line (which doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Even with the two plugins disabled, yum still does not find the new kernel? OK, could you do the following?
yum install yum-repolist
Then run:
yum repolist

Coming in late on this thread, but...
1. Can you point your repo's at a different URL? 2. Have you tried a 'yum clean all' first? 3. Try disabling everything _but_ the update repo, doing yum clean and then yum update.
yum clean all yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=updates update
Ray
OK, that worked for me
yum clean all yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=updates update
Should this be done on a weekly/monthly basis? " yum clean all"
Or are my repos messed up?

I'm guessing updates should be priority 1 instead of 99?

I run "yum clean headers" daily. I disabled the yum update daemon and use the following:
-=-=-=-=- #!/bin/sh # /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron
if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/yum ]; then /usr/bin/yum clean headers /usr/bin/yum -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum sleep 300 /usr/bin/yum -e 0 -d 0 -y update sleep 10 /usr/bin/yum clean headers fi -=-=-=-=-
The sleep commands are probably not necessary, but they make me feel better. Perhaps just a sync command would be enough, probably not even that is needed.
Actually I just remembered - the first sleep is necessary. Since I have several machines, I have staggered sleep values so they hit my local mirror at different times. I've found apache on my local mirror (low mem machine) sometimes locks up if they aren't staggered and all hit the repo at the same time.
If you are on dialup though, downloading headers may take awhile.

I commented out the clean headers and sleep lines. Stopped yum-updatesd and executed the script from the command line and it just sleeps (ie, ps aux "script" STAT=S). Curious.

No, you shouldn't need to run that really ever, but it can be helpful if yum gets "funky" (and it does seem to from time to time).
Also, yeah, your updates should be the same priority as the base.

sounds like the mirror you are updating from is not up to date.
We currently know that one mirror is bad:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-mirror/2008-February/002532.html
Please look at the file "/var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt" and see the first server from that list. If it is not a belnet.be mirror, please tell me which one it is, as it may be out of date.

According to Bob's earlier post, he does not seem to have the fastestmirror plugin. So he probably does not have that file...

Did so. No help. FYI no timedhosts.txt in the rpm. I still think the problem lies in yum's message "Could not find update match for kernel".

timedhosts.txt is NOT in the rpm. It is created when you run yum and contains the names of the mirror sites yum tried to access. Johnny wanted to know which site yum attempted to use. If you do not see this file even after yum was run, then something is amiss there.

My bad! It's there. I was looking in the wrong directory and didn't notice until later. The file currently contains:
mirror.centos.org 1.90688800812
Shouldn't yum update kernel update all kernel rpms installed? Rpm -q kernel returns all kernel rpm's I have installed (ie kernel-2.6.18-8.el5 kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5)
I tried this (yum update kernel) which reported: Could not find update match for kernel. How do I find what arch yum is using? This may be a clue why the kernel only is not being updated. This is what uname -rmpi returns:
uname -rmpi 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 i686 i686 i386

I *think* I'm using http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
I have found that there is no kernel at rpmforge so I have commented out all mirror urls in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file and disabled the rpmforge.repo file setting enabled=0. I have also set priority=1. This creates a problem updating the kernel if you have rpms from rpmforge. Is there a fix for this?
From what I gather from the message "Could not find update match for
kernel". This is my problem. Why can't it find this match. What match is yum looking for?
We currently know that one mirror is bad:

Looks OK to me. What the hell is our problem? All my updates are via yum. I received 1 updated kernel in September and none since.
In addition to what Ray Van Dolson suggested... you need to set up priorities according to:
Correct ... however, with updates and base both at 99, this should not be a problem. I see no reason why this will not work.

First make sure you do not have any line like:
exclude=kernel -OR- exclude=kernel*
I have no excludes
in /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
Then try updating the kernel by:
yum -d5 update kernel
Does the output show any hint?

I see nothing other than the second to last line.

Would you post the output of:
uname -mr
2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 i686
rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | sort
kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 kernel-2.6.18-8.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.centos.plus
I manually added kernel-headers. BTW uname -a says:
uname -a Linux ann.qtpi.local 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 18:58:54 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
This doesn't look right.
