Can you send me the truncated portion of the yum update. You can do it off
list since it is probrubly rather large.
Also, is there a reason that you have both the regular kernel installed, and
the xen kernel installed? Is this supposed to be a virtual machine server?

I've confirmed that my running kernel is also my installed kernel
(ie: I didn't get a kernel update, but fail to reboot to it). Any
thoughts on a resolution? The only solution I see is for the needed
package to made available online. This is a "production" system, so
I'd prefer to avoid an forced updates or backing out installed
packages to get the update to run. Doing a dist upgrade is also not
an option right now...
