You probably need to also upgrade at least modutils and mkinitrd.  I'd
put Arjan's entry into /etc/yum.conf and do a "yum upgrade" to get
everything up to date (after a complete backup of anything you care
about of course ;^).

[2.6testkernels]
name=Test Linux 2.6-test prerelease kernels for RHL9/rawhide
baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/

Begs the question, if you want to go this bleeding-edge why not install
FC2 or rawhide?  These are not released packages.  May want to post on
fedora-test-list.
