If you point a browser at 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/i386/ 
then you'll see that the kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.i686.rpm file is no longer 
there. You'd be better off using a more local mirror server instead of 
download.fedora.redhat.com anyway.

Have a look at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html and choose 
a server nearer to your location, then edit your yum.conf accordingly.
