Helo,

I'm trying to update a centos server with a kernel form the centos.plus
repro because it contain Firewire/IEEE1394 support.
But when y do a :
# yum update 
The kernel from the base is more recent thant the centos plus repro
I have tried with the
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities plug-in and it
didn't take the right kernel :

ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/5.2/centosplus/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6
.18-92.1.6.el5.centos.plus.i686.rpm
But the 
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/5.2/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18
-92.1.10.el5.i686.rpm

How i can force kernel choice form centos plus ?

Thank's for your help
