Here's my yum.conf file - works fine on my 7500. you'll need to 
uncomment out the 3.0.1 suppository to update the kernel and modules. 
You can comment it back when you're done (saves header reading time when 
you use yum after the upgrade and you'll only really need it once for 
the upgrade).

You might want to try:
	yum update
instead of:
	yum install kernel
before you muck about too much.

If you only want the kernel and mods updated, comment out all the other 
stuff and leave the 3.0.1 suppository the only one active. That'll leave 
all your other files untouched (I'm only recommending this 'cause I'm 
cussing firefox right now - just quit working).
