Probably you need to remove the ltmodem RPM, then update the kernel, then
get the correct ltmodem RPM and install it. You might be able to force
the installation of the kernel with the command-line up2date, but you'll
still need to get the right ltmodem RPM and upgrade that.
That's one thing about up2date. It can only help resolve dependencies
among Red Hat packages. If you have third-party packages with
dependencies, you still need to manage them by hand (or use apt-get-rpm).
