If I understand correctly you migrated a server from RH9 to Fedora via an upgrade.
When you do that the up2date channel you were using for RH9 wont be usable in Fedora anyhow. Once your using Fedora you need to update some configuration files to make things happy again.
this unnoficial faq will answer your question http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/
If that doesnt work you can always rpm -e --nopdeps up2date then rpm -ivh up2date (you will need a fedora cd for the install). That will uninstall the old stuff and should reinstall the up2date software, directories and config files. Then try the faq again.

Hi All
I have been using Redhat 9 for about four months, I am really proficient at starting up and shutting down. About 4 weeks ago I upgraded/Loaded Fedora and have had some problems some of which I have solved and some are still outstanding.
Having said all of that I did a really, really stupid thing today, when I installed Fedora I had a few error messages but pushed on through the installation regardless, so I thought it would be a good idea (here comes the stupid bit) to delete the system on the Red Hat site, then delete /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid re register the system.
Oh dear a little knowledge is dangerous, now my up2date says " This system may not be updated until it is associated with a channel." or "the applet has been unable to access the following information sources in its last attempts: fedora-core-1 @ http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1, updates-released @ http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1"
However when I try to associate with a channel on Redhats site the website will net let me (possibly I'm doing something wrong).
Can anyone help me "please, please, pretty please" keep in mind that I am a complete idiot and will need total hand holding (ie. click on this, then this or type this, then this)
I hope someone will be kind enough to help as at the moment my laptop cannot now auto update.
Thank you Regards
