OP said he had an InfiniBand card. For a long time it was the case
that every kernel point release needed the corresponding IB userspace

It's also worth noting that running with an unusual set of packages
means you're running something that is not well-tested. Most
enterprise users like to run with the herd, in the middle of the herd.
Mooo. That basically means "yum -y update", nothing different.
"Yum let me do it" and "this is wise" are two different things!
