What is the status of this one?

I am seeing the same here (did not perform upgrade yet) :

Removing:
  kernel     x86_64     2.6.18-53.1.19.el5  installed
  kmod-gfs   x86_64     0.1.19-7.el5_1.1    installed

The only gfs related packages in the upgrade list are :
  gfs-utils  x86_64     0.1.17-1.el5 rhel-x86_64-server-cluster-storage-5
  gfs2-utils x86_64     0.1.44-1.el5 rhel-x86_64-server-5


Specifically how should one perform the upgrade with the least amount of 
hassle?
