This file is part of the vendor kernel rpm

$ rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5
kernel-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5

But this is not the latets kernel, so yum gets confused (yum always
discards all packages than the latest).

It is also not correct for yum to try to get
foo-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5, you probably want the kmdls for the latest
kernel.

Try the following: Just upgrade to the latets kernel with

yum update kernel

or yum install kernel

If yum-plugin-kmdl is installed it hsould pull in the proper kmdls as
well. Then use yum update. This yum update will not be tempted to
randomly pull in kmdls for some kernel, because the kernel and kmdls
will already have been installed.

Hope the practice is not to different that the theory :/
