I'd like to warn anyone not to try this.

I added following to /etc/yum.conf:

installonlypkgs=vzkernel*
installonly_limit=5
exclude=kernel*

Then ran yum update:

Complete!


But when all is said and done all but the latest kernel rpm was removed.

# rpm -qa | grep kernel
vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab039.11.x86_64
dracut-kernel-004-53.el6.noarch
vzkernel-firmware-2.6.32-042stab039.11.noarch
kernel-2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.x86_64


I had to manually force-install the previous kernel rpms to at least have one backup in case of a problem after rebooting.
