It seems to me that one of the above attempts should have worked.
urpmi --fuzzy kernel
That will list all the available packages that either have "kernel" in the name or in the reference - THEN you can choose which one you so desire to install...
Mind you, you do have to make sure you've defined an update source in order to be able to get that...
urpmi.addmedia --help urpmi.update --help urpmi --help

As Stephen says for sure.
Three things I discovered with urpmi:
1. You need to be sure that you have all the relevant media added to see to your requirements.
I personally use vivisimo <http://www.vivisimo.com> but you may want to use google, to make sure all the ftp sites you can
handle are 'onboard'.
2. Then I always start out with
# urpmi.update -a
3. Then I go make a cup of coffee and say "Hi" to Jan. ( By the time she gets over the shock and I
catch up on the day's events, I'm ready to continue with 'urpmi'.)
It's good to update your media but be sure you have all the relevant media to update in the first place.

Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.
