I just finished updating my system this morning and now find that

As a result I can not load drivers for CD rom , floppy disk ,

The system boots up , but there is no way to load new files onto
the system to undo the mess I have gotten into.
It looks like I may have to reformat and start over.
Several of us have run into the same problem. What worked for me
was to boot up, navigate to the /var/cache/yum/development/packages
directory, rollback to the previous version of module-init-tools:
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage module-init-tools-3.0-2.i386.rpm
and in my case I rebooted into the earlier kernel 2.6.8-1.535 and
everything came back alive. I haven't looked around to see if
there's still any broken glass and scratches but I'm back to where
I can play again.
