I reported this on bugzilla perhaps a month ago, and here is my solution
(not quite):

Go back to the 2.6.33 kernel. 

Remove the 2.6.34.6-47 (or intermediate between the 2.6.33 and
2.6.34.7) kernels. 

yum update now. The latest kernel (2.6.34-7-56) will be installed via
delta rpms.

Reboot. It worked for me.

For some reason, it appears to me that some mess up was introduced in
the interim last three kernels and it has not gone away yet. The delta
rpms may be the problem but also the solution. This problem and the
observations were reported, but the bug has not been even assigned yet
(certainly actively looked on yet). Bugzilla has become very spotty in
my opinion. It completely depends on who gets assigned the bug and how
committed he/she is to the solution and this is sometimes lacking in
very serious cases as this one.
