Hmmm...........

egrep -r "kernel*" /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/config.py
('installonlypkgs', ['kernel', 'kernel-bigmem',
                     'kernel-enterprise','kernel-smp',
                     'kernel-debug', 'kernel-unsupported',
                     'kernel-source']),
                     ('kernelpkgnames', ['kernel','kernel-smp',
                      'kernel-enterprise', 'kernel-bigmem',
                       'kernel-BOOT'])]
        for option in ['commands', 'installonlypkgs', 'kernelpkgnames',
'exclude']
