I've got a server running SL 7.3 and while it has installed many

installing all updates to a full SL 7.5 system. I've tried 'yum clean

is that 'yum check' returned an error, but I don't know if it is
enough to cause yum to just ignore updating seemingly unrelated
packages while allowing others. I would assume that a conflict with a
kmod would block a kernel update but it does not. What other steps can
I do to try to troubleshoot or fix this?

It appears to be stuck at SL 7.3 according to:

Thanks.
Do you have yum-conf-sl7x installed?
What are the contents of:
/etc/yum/vars/releasever
/etc/yum/vars/slreleasever
The newer kernels are generally available at each release version via
the sl-security repo, so it is not a good measure.
I forgot to provide a fix/solution for you...
If you do not have yum-conf-sl7x install it.
If it is installed, do a 'yum reinstall yum-conf-sl7x'.
Alternately, change /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever to contain 7x
The output of 'yum repolist all' should list the sl repositories as 7x
instead of 7.3.
This might happen because the slreleasever file is provided by both
yum-conf-sl7x and sl-release. There is an rpm trigger to (hopefully)
handle this gracefully. See /var/libexec/sl-release/set-release.sh.
