That works for me.

I've checked that: it is the same as not having the
newer kernel installed: above command line installs
module(s) for current running kernel only.
In addition the updated kernel-module plugin breaks things:
I cannot use this syntax anymore:
yum -d 10 install kernel-module-openafs-2.6.9-22.0.2.EL.cern
[...]
Running "exclude" handler for "kernel-module" plugin
Excluding unneeded kernel-modules
Excluding kernel-module-openafs-2.6.9-11.EL.cern
Excluding kernel-module-openafs-2.6.9-22.0.2.EL.cern
[...]
Looking at the code of the plugin all kernel-module-XXX
packages for kernels diffrent than the currently running
one suddenly became uninstallable using yum ....
Cheers
