Hello,
I got some troubles with 'yum' on SL5x 64bit. In some cases (seems to
depend of the order of packages) yum fail to install kernel with a crash
message:
# yum install kernel
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, kernel-module

if txmbr.name in KERNELS and txmbr.ts_state in ('e'):

The problem seems to come from /usr/lib/yum-plugins/kernel-module.py.
Just changing the ('e') for ('e',) at line 115 solved the problem.
Of course we do activate that plugin in our configuration, but the
problem seems to occur or not depending of when the kernel package is
installed (upgraded).
Here is the exact package/version:
# rpm -qf /usr/lib/yum-plugins/kernel-module.py
yum-3.2.19-25.sl.noarch
