I just tried to use yum to upgrade the kernel from 2.6.32-358 to
2.6.32-431.29.2. However, I get a kernel panic on boot. The first
kernel panic I got included stuff about acpi, so I tried adding noacpi
noapic to the kernel boot parameters, which at least changed the
kernel panic message, now I get (transcribed from a photo I took, so
please excuse any errors):

First question: can you boot with the old kernel still (by default
CentOS 6 leaves a few old kernels around; I want to say the default is
3, but it might be 5, I don't recall, and I don't have a straight
default C6 install to check against right at the moment)?
Next question: did you also update the updated kernel-firmware package
for the updated kernel?
The first thing I would do is downgrade the kernel and make sure the
system is working there; you then will need to very carefully check all
your hardware components together that the kernel update should be ok.
You mention GPU's; which drivers are you using there? Iterate over all
hardware.
Now, I'm going to sound like a broken record here. If you absolutely
positively must stay at a point release for whatever reason (and there
are valid reasons for this), then you don't need to be running CentOS;
it is simply not supported. You either need to pay up for RHEL6 with
EUS, or you need to install ScientificLinux 6 (built from the same
sources that CentOS is built from, with a different rebranding); the SL
team does support getting only critical updates but staying on a
particular point release.
