SLOW network on FC3 (2nd)

[Craig J Wright]

When I used yum to update the kernel (to kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.i686).
It failed with the following message:
      /sbin/mkinitrd: line 776: /tmp/initrd.img.V21453: cannot overwrite
existing file mkinitrd failed

This new kernel is not listed in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file either.
What do I do to fix this so the new kernel will be usable?
