First, I don't think urpmi wants to install every single version. 
  I think it is asking for ONE of every single version available. 
  Pick one (of 63) and that will be enough.

My WAG (which could be way off) is that you still have something 
related to tomoyo installed (if you are still getting the long list).

If you really feel adventurous, and have a bunch of room on the 
partition where /var is located, you might try (as root, all on 
one line of course)

urpmi --downloader wget --auto-update --auto --split-length=0 --test

Urpmi will check to see what you need and download it.  Take a 
look in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms and install whatever you want from 
there.  If you get 63 kernels, you can just delete the unwanted 
ones (plus anything else you do not want) and then

urpmi /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/*

Cheers!
