I remember seeing this on Fedora Core 4 when I tried to upgrade to
Rawhide at the time (before FC5 was out).  It has to do with kudzu or
something conflicting with the old 2.6.12 kernel.  It turns out I had to
get the latest kernel, reboot using it and remove the old kernel (rpm -e
kernel-2.6.12-foo) before I could continue the update.
