Thanks, you're right, I made a typo in my email.

I did not make a typo in my shell command, however.
I actually typed in the correct kernel version: 2.6.12-1.  I had done a
# yum search kernel and grepped for 1447 so yum knew it existed.  So my
question stands: is there a way to install an old kernel with yum?
