Hi
During the updating of the SL5.3 X86_64 from 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen
to the latest kernel 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5xen, We have encountered
"Missing Dependency" problem during the yum update procedure
on several hosts. This was resolved by removing (rpm -el) old
kernel packages which cause "Missing Dependency".

G'day Ichihara san.
Are you using afs? If not, you can remove kernel-module-openafs.
That aside, it seems there's a problem with you list of packages to not
be updated automatically.
Here is my yum.conf - it's not the standard one - compare mine with
yours and see what differs.
[r...@bobtail ~]# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
exclude=*.i[3-6]86
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=72000
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
[r...@bobtail ~]#
I'm running AMD-64 software, and I explicitly exclude i?86 software.
Look for excludes in your repo files too.
