Simplistic solution, set yum to keep something like 5, or more, kernels.
So that it's so long before it automatically removes one, that you've
still got the one that you want. And that gives you much more time to
see whether any new kernels do work adequately. You can manually remove
in-between versions.
Thanks for your response, which was very helpful.
I've set installonly_limit=6 in /etc/yum.conf .
I'm still having problems with kernel-3.11 ,
though less than was the case, I think.
However, I think you could list the exact version that you want to
exclude.
I'm not quite sure of the logic of
"yum --exclude=kernel-PAE-devel-3.10.* update"
