Yes, there is. This comes up regularly.

# rpm -e cman-kernel dlm-kernel gnbd-kernel GFS-kernel

These kernel modules regularly get out of step with the main kernel,
causing dependency problems. Unless you're using GFS (and if you don't
know what it is, you almost certainly won't be doing), you can safely
remove these modules.
