FC3 crashes during update of FC2

I thought I found the explanation for why FC3 crashes during
the install, when upgrading from FC2. I've listed the URL and
message from the mailing list below. However, I tried numerous
permutations in my grub.conf file, and it still crashes when
beginning to install the RPM's. The same message regarding
the kernel is always displayed:
warning: package kernel = 2.6.9-1.667 was already added. Replacing with
kernel = 2.6.9-1.667
Any ideas beside a destructive installation?
-Thanks

Paul you are 100% correct, I removed 1 of 3 installed kernels and the
install proceeded fully.
Thank you very much.

How many kernels do you have installed? I had this problem when I tried
upgrading a machine that had one of the FC3 test release kernels
installed. Try removing as many kernels as possible from FC2 (preferably
leaving just one, < 2.6.9) and try it again. This worked for me.
