Maybe because yum looks at the repos only, or because the installonlyn
plugin wants to remove this kernel? I have no idea, I only know that
the error sais that /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.1-32.fc6 is missing from
yum's persepctive. This could be due to a missing package in yum's
depsolving, broken metadata indicating loss of this package or its
filelist, a bug in yum, a corrupted rpmdb etc.

What this is not is a missing kmdl for a given kernel.
