You can put this in your yum.conf file to prevent upgrading the kernel: exclude=kernel kernel-devel kernel-PAE Now, eventually you will have other things not work without an upgraded kernel. For example, any "kmods" will eventually not upgrade as they will require newer kernels in the future. You can also point only at our vault if you really want everything to stay at the 5.5 level ... but I do not recommend it. The vault path would be: baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/5.5/<repo>/$basearch/ (where <repo> is os, updates, extras, centosplus, etc.) You can not use mirrorlist in that scenario. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
