Try adding this to the new kernel's options in /etc/grub.conf after 
updating and
before rebooting:

  pci=nomsi,nommconf

So it should look something like

   kernel <kernel-name> ro root=LABEL=/ pci=nomsi,nommconf <other options>

And the old kernel is still there after updating, you can press a key on the
very first boot screen and choose the old kernel.
