I found a problem, don't know if it is related but
kernel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64.rpm fails to install with the following
error below.

# yum update

# rpm -q -a kernel
kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64

You can see that kernel-2.6.27.*9* is NOT installed only kernel-2.6.27.*5*is.

Any one know what the error above means?
