Sorry,

I missed something:

For the installation I created a couple of repositories containing all

rpm and all updates for packages. For this node I need the installation 
kernel

(3.0.76-0.11)  with the megaraid_sas.rpm.

Can I force the system to install all updates, but keep the kernel at the

old version (we are using other software, which is only supported 
running THIS kernel) ?
