We have already updated this.

This update allows you to install packages that require kernel-modules 
(such as openafs) and it will get the correct kernel module.  So now to 
install openafs you just have to do

   yum install openafs openafs-client

and openafs should be installed, including the kernel-module for the 
kernel you are running.
One thing that hasn't been tested yet, because I'm looking for a machine 
with this configuration, is a machine that is currently on an older 
kernel, but has the newer kernel installed.  And is then trying to 
install openafs.  I know that's a bit specific, but that's what I'm 
looking to test.
