unwanted kernel

[Janina Sajka]

No, it's the correct syntax that several of us who used for a long time.
So, please take the time to figure out what's going wrong for you.

exclude=kernel*

goes on its own line in /etc/yum.conf

Here's a complete /etc/yum.conf file from one of my machines:

keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
exclude=kernel* zaptel* libpri*

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
