Hi Thanks for your suggestion. I have updated each modules by yum many times and finally the kernel and kernel modules remained. The yum-update of kernel and kernel modules seems to case this problem.
Experimentally, I have erased the kernel 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 and related modules by hand (rpm -el) and after that, the yum update worked. I do not understand why this solved. But anyway, the problem was solved.
