What was the yum command?

If you wanted to install fuse-kmdl for the very first time then yum
may start doing that even when you have the yum-plugin-kmdl. This is
because yum sees that fuse requires some kmdl. It doesn't know which
one, any of the available are fine, e.g. it can be the kmdl for the
normal kernel, the xen one, etc. So it picks one kmdl and if you're
lucky it was the one of the kernel you have installed, if not, then
yum will go on and install the kernel of the kmdl it picked. ...

smart is a bit smarter, it will look at what kernels you have
installed and pick an appropriate kmdl. But smart has no equivalent to
yum-plugin-kmdl, so it will not install kmdls for *all* installed
kernels, only for one.

depsolvers aren't there, yet. :/
