I'm sorry if I am not completely up to speed on this but am I right to say I should use the command 'rpm --justdb kernel' as root? Regards, Steve Sheldon

You have to do manual updates, and mark the kernel as "taboo" every single time you open up YOU. This feature, aka bug, has been there for years :-/
Forget about automatic updates: you should remove that applet, it is useless for you.
There is a workaround:
remove the "offending" package from the rpm data base (use the --justdb option
of rpm). That way, YOU will not think that there is anything to be done and the applet will again report when there are (useful) updates available.

It's rpm -e --justdb <name-of-kernel-package> To find out what is the RPM package name of the kernel installed, you could do rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz E.g. hartmut@dhcppc0:~> rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz kernel-default-2.6.13-15.7 And then (you must be user "root" to do the next step) rpm -e --justdb kernel-default Greetings from Stuhr hartmut
