Neil, what is your Bug about? Is it a yum problem? Is it something else?
What I did when I decided I needed the 3232 kernel I d/l the RPM from
Red Hat. I applied it and it did fine changing Grub and I have been
booting that kernel ever since. So there is no problem with the RPM.
This leaves a problem in YUM. I think it sounds like a yum error.
