Worked fine. It seems that the issue with .303 was simply up2date overwriting
aspects of the 2.6.3 kernel, yet not fully installing 2.6.4. When I followed it
up with yum install kernel this time, all was OK.

until the issues it seems to have are fixed. Use "yum install kernel" instead.
In fact, I can't even get up2date working with the other packages, but maybe
you can. Regardless, even if you can get it to work with the other stuff, I
wouldn't play with up2date for installing the kernel unless you are feeling
brave. If you do, check with rpm -qa and if you don't see the new kernel there,
then do it again with yum or else you'll be sorry when you reboot.
