look in /etc/urpmi/inst.list
# Here you can specify packages that need to be installed instead

kernel
kernel-smp
kernel-secure
kernel-enterprise
kernel-linus2.2
kernel-linus2.4
kernel22
kernel22-secure
kernel22-smp
hackkernel
So kernel's are installed (rpm -ivh), not upgraded (-Uvh). Works
equally as well for all kernels, ie, gives you choices of current
kernels, and then 'urpmi kernel-source' will get the appropriate
source and upgrade it too.
No problemo (anymore, it's been so for quite a while)
