As Tom stated, FC4 is no more supported; therefore you won't be able to
get newer kernel via yum.

...bad locking...

The picture reminded me a SCSI driver bug in older kernels -- I google'd
again now and I saw a post that says "native drivers are being used in
FC5+ kernels". If this is the real case, you may hit the problem
sometime later.

Upgrading OS will probably solve your problem; since there is no way to
upgrade FC4 kernel unless you want to compile kernel source on your
system.
