unless I'm missing it - there is no kernel- 2.6.0.blahlbalahl athlon is
there?

yum will obey the exactarch=1 default in the yum.conf file -so unless
there is a kernel.athlon rpm that is available and newer then it won't
update to a different architecture.

set exactarch=0 and you should get kernel-2.6.0 in there.
