[Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-creator complaining about older version of kernel rpm

I did some more research to see what differences there are between the livecd
build that works and one that fails. The liveCD that succeeds is the following:

   livecd-creator
--repo=c6,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
--repo=c6di,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/debug/
--repo=c6_upd,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/ 

--repo=c6_updi,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/debug/ 

--repo=lcd6,http://people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/
--repo=e6,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/
--package=fedora-livecd-gnome --package=kernel-debuginfo
--fslabel=Fedora-6-Zod-LiveCD-1-stap2a >& livecd-stap2a.log &

The livecd that fails has an additional package, systemtap:

livecd-creator
--repo=c6,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
--repo=c6di,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/debug/
--repo=c6_upd,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/ 

--repo=c6_updi,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/debug/ 

--repo=lcd6,http://people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/
--repo=e6,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/
--package=fedora-livecd-gnome --package=kernel-debuginfo --package=systemtap
--fslabel=Fedora-6-Zod-LiveCD-1-stap2  >& livecd-stap2.log &

Looking through the information about what is installed. From the log file for 
the livecd WITHOUT systemtap the following things are going to be installed

It looks like systemtap package pulls in a lot of additional packages, including 
  the appropriate kernel, kernel-2.6.20-1.2911. The attached packages.diff show 
the additional packages that are installed by the second round of yum. The 
i2.log (the livecd with systemtap) tries to install the kernel-2.6.20-1.2895, 
which it shouldn't be given that a newer version of the kernel is already 
installed. Davidz suggest adding "--package=kernel" to the commandline, but that 
doesn't make a difference.
