(It's not on one line in this message on my = screen, but it is in the file. Anyway, when I do yum update it promises to install kernel i686 2.6.22-133.fc7 updates 16 = M again, all on one line. I'm appending the text of my yum.conf in case I did something wrong = here, but the line looks to me just like in the installation guide. I actually seem to have installed this other kernel doing yum update -y on Friday: there were new lines in my grub.conf. Luckily, I rebooted = without a problem, and eventually removed the thing. Still, I thought = the exclude line was meant to prevent just this problem. Any = suggestions?
