This is one of the problems you get with an "everything install". The 
GFS kernel modules typically lag behind the main kernel for a while and 
during that time, anyone with those kernel modules installed has 
dependency issues.

If you are not using this clustering technology (and you would know if 
you were, since you'd have had to configure it), the best option is 
definitely to remove the kernel modules from your system:

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