(1)  Did you use yum or up2date?

(2)  Are you using FC3?

Possible answers:

If you are using up2date, you have to force an update for any kernel
related packages.  This is STRONGLY suggested; but you can change the
default behavior of this.

The mirrors have not updated all their definitions.  The last kernel
update was on 11/23/2004!

~   2. [SECURITY] Fedora Core 2 Update: kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2 (Dave Jones)
~   3. [SECURITY] Fedora Core 3 Update: kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3
~      (Dave Jones)

If there is an update newer than this, you will have to wait for the
official post.
