yum upgrade error for FC2->FC3: udev conflicts kernel< 0:2.6

[Zed Lopez]

Hi, 

per http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upgrading_Red_Hat_Linux_with_yum.html
I downloaded and installed the FC3 yum and fedora-release, installed
them with rpm, and entered "yum upgrade". It chugged through
downloading lots of headers, then died with the messages below. (My
current kernel is 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.)

Anyone have any suggestions for what my next step should be?

Thanks.

Zed
