Wow. These kmods can take quite some time to update/install in yum, hence the informational message, but I've not yet seen one take an hour!
How many kernels do you have installed as time is proportional to the number of kernels the module has to install against. Is it a particularly slow/old system, maybe short on memory?

I don't recall, now, if I've replied to this thread or not, but...
I ran into a similar issue a few weeks ago...it turned out that I was having an issue with my /tmp filesystem (at least)...I couldn't even perform an orderly shutdown -r.
I wound up hard booting, during which /tmp was fsck'd, clearing a fair number of orphaned inodes, and my yum update ran just fine after that.
Just a thought.
