The latest kernels are 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 and 2.6.23.14-107.fc8

Can you show the full output from yum and before that make sure that
yum is the latest version of yum as there were a couple of bugs fixed
there that do sound familiar to your report.

That was the way it once worked, but it broke yum when Red Hat was
retiring the kernels (yum would find the there are packages w/o
dependencies and bark out).

Therefore I'm forced to remove kmdls for kernels that Red Hat's repo
has removed. apt and smart are a bit more resilient to this, but given
that the majority runs yum these days it isn't very helpful. :/

No, everything is in place, maybe the same kernel version issue as
above?

Please post some more of yum's output so we can have a better look at
what's going on.
