This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. There was a kernel release over the weekend to .67.0.15, yet, they did not release the updated GFS to go along with it, so when the machine rebooted, there was no gfs file system in the new running kernel which in turn wreaked havoc on my cluster. I truly wish they would not do that :). I guess I shall have to not allow automatic yum updates from these machines.
Use the yum's exclude functionality. Man yum.conf for the syntax. I think it will just be exclude=kernel.
You also might want to remove the non gfs kernels from your installation and get a staging environment for patching set up (if this is a production system).
