[Fedora-xen] kernel OoPs after updating to 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6xen

Then you'll be interested in this conf file:
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf

Note that while it's easy to roll back to an earlier kernel (assuming you 
still have it installed) the same is not true for rolling back xen 
userspace code updates, which have been just as risky to upgrade as the 
kernel, in my experience. Just so you know. :)
