the proper way to "yum update" a new "everything" install of FC4?

  i just installed a new FC4 system -- an "everything" install -- and
it can't be just plain "yum update"d because of some dependency
issues.

  the errors are that the four kernel packages
{gnbd,GFS,cman,dlm}-kernel claim to need
/lib/modules/2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.

  given that this is a new install, the current kernel is considerably
older than that, *and* the updates list is already telling me that
it's ready to update to kernel 2.6.13-1.1532-FC4 anyway.

  so what's the proper command sequence for this to work smoothly?
i'm guessing that it should be done in a couple parts.

p.s.  i suspect i don't even *need* those four kernel packages and i
could just delete them at which point the update would work, but i'm
more interested in the solution for this in case something similar
happens again WRT to other packages.  thanks.
