You system is behaving well at all?

For updating with the latest X.org packages (security updates) I would
suggest you leave X mode by logging out, going to console with
Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then switching to runlevel 3 with "init 3" after you
logged in as root. This ensures that no X components are used during the
update. Then do the up2date run again, but leave out the "-f" switch.
this will leave out the kernel. After X is updated you can update the
kernel separately by again using the "-f" parameter.
Maybe it is useful for you to edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to select
a well working nearby mirror server for your location. Can't judge how
good the kernel.org mirror works for you.
