[poky] kernel versions

I have my own kernel recipes (historical reasons...) which I
now have 2 versions of.  Some platforms have not yet been
ported to the latest version and I need to keep using the
older one for those platforms until the porting is complete.

Sadly, I can't get this to work.

Here's what I have
   $ tree meta-amltd/packages/linux/
     meta-amltd/packages/linux/
     ├── linux-am_2.6.32.bb
     ├── linux-am_2.6.37.bb

   $ tree meta-cobra3530p60/packages/linux/
     meta-cobra3530p60/packages/linux/
     ├── linux-am-2.6.32
     │   └── cobra3530p60
     │       ├── cobra3530p60.patch
     │       └── defconfig
     ├── linux-am_2.6.32.bbappend

I tried these settings in my machine/cobra3530p60
   PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-am"
   PREFERRED_VERSION_virtual/kernel = "2.6.32"

However, it still wants to build version 2.6.37

What am I missing?  How can I force it to use the 2.6.32 version
for this machine?

Thanks
