In addition to my previous post. I think it was not clear enough.

Abort.

the first rpm to upgrade is alsa-driver.

$ apt-cache policy alsa-driver

I understand why apt suggest to upgrade alsa-driver: atrpms's rpm is 
newer than planetccrma's rpm.
So if Fernando can upgrade his alsa-driver then apt will not offer the 
upgrade.

My problem is that alsa-driver depends on the kernel I'm using and if I 
upgrade to atrpms then my system won't be usable (I cant boot it from 
kernel#2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at [see the previous post]).
I also don't understand why apt wants to install 
kernel#2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at [probably as the result of all dependencies 
between different rpms in different repos].
I can install this kernel and NOT use it (btw I tried it before), but 
it's a waist of the disk space.

BTW I didn't install alsa-firmware from planetccrma as it want me to 
upgrade alsa-tools (and I'm not sure: does alsa-tools depend on the 
kernel or only alsa-driver does?):

20:37:55 37868 $ apt-cache policy alsa-tools

And another question, how for example to upgrade the rpm to 
1.0.0-1.rc2.cvs.rh90.ccrma, not to suggested 1.0.0-rc2_3.rh9.at?

I'm sorry for so many details my main question is how to prevent the 
apt  from downgrading  the kernel and  kernel modules rpms which of 
course  depends on the kernel.

Many thanks,
