man yum.conf
exclude
List of packages to exclude from updates or installs. This should be a space separated list. Shell globs using wildcards (eg. * and ?) are allowed.
Take your pick as to if you want to use kernel* or specifically list kernel kernel-utils

1. Open terminal. 2. Log in as Super User, Su - 3. enter: cd /etc/ 4. enter: ls yum.conf 5. yum.conf should appear 6. enter: gedit yum.conf or emacs yum.conf depending on your editor. 7. The following should be displayed:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d
8. Below [main] add the following:- exclude=kernel 9. Save and exit. 10. Now yum will not update your kernel.

Does this excludes kernel-utils too?
