At first the update demaen failed to install the
kernel-header with the same error message shown
above.

Then I manually tried yum install which failed with
the error message above.

Then I renamed the file, ran yum clean all and tried
yum install which failed again with the error above.

I think Todd's suggestion of removing the old
kernel-header might solve the conflict. Though
I don't know how the
/usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_iprange.h
was being read from kernel-headers-2.6.22.1-41.fc7

btw, I disabled the install only 2 kernels option.
