The version of gfs2-kmod in 5.2 is 1.92-1.1.el5, it appears as though you're using the gfs2-kmod from 5.1. There is a known issue with upgrading gfs2-kmod from 5.1 to 5.2 (without having yum-kmod installed). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 445591 ***
The 1.92-1.1.el5 might have come from 5.1, but if was installed on my system using ks-rhel-i386-server-5-u2. So the problem is present post-5.2 as well.
