It couldn't hurt to do the clean install.

There is an awful lot of crap in /etc for the modprobe machinery. Are
you sure that something didn't get left there from the FC5 days? It
might be an interesting experiment to backup the yum upgraded /etc and
compare that to one from a clean install with "diff -ru".
