We have four identical hardware system. On one of them the most recent kernel update yields this error:

Any ideas as to what happened and how to fix it?

It looks like your package update was interrupted by a SIGHUP signal (that's what the Hangup is from). The %posttrans scriptlet for the kernel package was interrupted by the SIGHUP signal. No idea what might have broken, but I'd suggest reinstalling that package 'yum resintall kernel-2.6.32-573.26.1.el6.x86_64' and make sure it worked.
A HUP signal is often sent when the terminal closes. Perhaps you were running the update over SSH and disconnected prematurely? Or your configuration management was interrupted?

Thank you.
I have reinstalled the kernel package as instructed and will reboot the system after close of business today to see if that clears things up.
