I'm having a bit of a problem too:

[root at dimi ~]# rpm -e kernel-utils
--> Processing Dependency: kernel-utils for package: kernel-smp
--> Processing Dependency: kernel-utils for package: kernel
--> Processing Dependency: kernel-utils for package: kernel
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-utils is needed by package kernel
Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-utils is needed by package kernel-smp

Here are the details:

[root at dimi ~]# rpm -q kernel-utils
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.49_FC3
[root at dimi ~]# rpm -e kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.49_FC3
error: Failed dependencies:
   kernel-utils is needed by (installed) lm_sensors-2.8.7-2.i386
   kernel-utils is needed by (installed) kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.i686
   kernel-utils is needed by (installed) kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.27_FC3.i686
   kernel-utils is needed by (installed) kernel-2.6.11-1.27_FC3.i686

Why is kernel-2.6.11 dependent on kernel-utils-2.4.13 I don't know...
