You did not come back to the list with the output of  "yum repolist 
elrepo-kernel", as asked by Steve. Please provide that info as well

These lines show that rpmforge was not properly installed anyway so 
you'd better get rid of /etc/yum.repos.d/*rpmforge*. rpmforge is 
notoriously incompatible with other repos ( notably epel ) and can only 
lead to issues if its repo definition file is not amended properly.
