Yeah, I saw the same thing too.

have a look at what kernels you've got installed.

rpm -qa kernel\*

I'll bet there are a couple of kernels that are 2.6.11 or 2.6.12 (more
than like FC4 kernels).  Kudze won't work with these anymore (for some
reason).

remove these kernels and then kudzu will install.
