[CentOS] Prevent kernel upgrade unless given dependencies satisfied

Dear List Members,
 
Is there a way to prevent a kernel from being upgraded unless
a list of given dependencies are satisfied?
 
What I am getting at is sometimes updated kernels are available
before the upgraded versions of the kernel modules in 'extras'
are (ie drbd).
 
If there were a way to list these modules as dependencies that
must be satisfied before a kernel upgrade can be performed it
would prevent a lot of pain around upgrade management.
 
 
Thanks,
