CentOS - Sep 2006 - Removed Plus kernel, yum still wants to update plus kernel

I am trying to get off the plus kernel.  Hasn't helped yet, and my 
MadWifi does not work with it.

So I used  YUMEX to remove all of the plus kernel cruft that I could see.

I rebooted.  ONly the standard kernel was listed in the boot menu (good 
sign).

Start up Yumex,  and it is showing that the plus kernel needs updating.  
Nothing on the regular kernel.

Just yum update behaves the same.

So where does yum keep its 'memory', so I can remove references to the 
plus kernel and get back to the regular kernel?????

IIUC, yum depends on rpm. So a std "rpm -q ..." should reflect what
you
tells you. The diff might be in what versions exist in what repos that
you have enabled and/or exludes=/includepkgs= lie therein.

Either disable the centosplus repository, or exclude the kernel from
that repository. I have no idea how yumex handles this, as I'm pretty
much a console only type person. For general yum behavior, read 'man
yum.conf' and look at the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/

Ah, disabled centosplus repository.

yum update ran a long time downloading headers then failed:

Now since I don't use clamav on this system, time to delete it....
