Are you sure ? I mean is your new kernel installed correctly ? Is your
grub.conf file updated correctly. 

Of course it is a bit worrisome that a CTRL-c to stop a yum update can
leave behind such a mess, instead of cleaning up more correctly, like it
can when a single package stage (the killing of nash) fails. I mean
noway in hell would "my mother" been able to fix this system, and those
ppl (like i did) certainly will first try to hammer CTRL-C when
something hangs.
