Try removing the existing kernel-module-openafs-2.6.9-78.0.13 with
yum remove kernel-module-openafs.
(you will have to tempoararily stop AFS).
Then install it again afterwards.
(If yum remove doesn't work you could try a rpm -e
kernel-module-openafs---)

Dear SL gurus,
Our SL4 AFS clients are unable to update to latest kernel, the error is

Can someone advise on the fix?
I've tried yum clean all; yum update - same error (wasn't likely to work,
but -)
Also tried change /etc/yum.repos.d/sl-errata.repo sl.repo to point from our
SL4.4 4.5 mirror to using SL's own repos (in case the problem is our
mirror server), yum clean all, yum update - same error
On one SL4.4 afs client (where it isn't critical that AFS works), openafs was
removed, then yum update worked, but now can't reinstall openafs - it wants
kernel 2.6.9-11 installed! Why??
