That is happening when mkinitrd gets executed by the kernel instal %post
script (mkinitrd creates a new boot image that contains the drivers you
will need during boot time for the new kernel). 

I seem to remember this happening once to me, but I can't remember what
the details were...

After you reboot, is the new kernel there? ("rpm -q kernel"). Have you
tried installing it alone, like in "apt-get install planetccrma-core"?
