I'll try to reproduce this. Maybe the lastest yum update broke the
yum-skip-broken plugin. Did you activate and permanently enable it? Is
the below output from using yum with --skip-broken argument?

Looking at it again: 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 are not not in ATrpms' repo
anymore since some time now. So the above is either an outdated
mirror, or yum sees these packages installed.

If it is the latter then the meaning of the error is different: It
means yum was trying to remove the kernel that these kmdls depended
upon. The error is then that yum acted as if installonlyn was active,
which is not listed above. But someone already said that installonlyn
is now integral part of yum, so perhaps you need to turn that off.
