How to keep an old kernel?

[Timothy Murphy]

I'm running Fedora-19/KDE on a Thinkpad T61.
I had serious problems with hibernation
when kernel-3.11 first came on the scene.
Things have slightly improved now,
but I still occasionally have what seems like
the same problem, one symptom being that I cannot shutdown
except by pressing the power button.

In any case, I have one 3.10 kernel in my three grub kernels.
I'm yum-updating with exclude=kernel* to avoid losing this kernel.
But I'm wondering if there is some way of telling yum
that I want to keep this kernel, but would like to update
the current kernel?
