The new kernel installs is unfortunately an apt/yum issue, where when
asking for some kernel-module apt/yum pick one w/o checking what
kernels are installed. You may end up even having apt suggest
installing smp kernels on not smp machines and vice versa.

I suggest to look at "apt-get upgrade"'s output first, which should be
far more well behaved. Installing kernel modules should be done with

apt-get install kernel-module-foo-`uname -r`

ATrpms supports the PlanetCCRMA kernels where ever possible, so most
kernel modules exist for PlanetCCRMA (some that require patching the
kernel don't).

From the list you posted the only really alarming note was:

I cannot understand what wants to remove (only) this package. I
understand that this package is a meta-package pulling in other
packages, so it would be removed, if one of the dependent packages
would be removed, but no package other than planetccrma-core was
suggested to be removed.

If you could provide more details, I'd like to get this fixed - unless
it is an apt or rpm ghost issue, we have seen such in recent times :(
