Are you having the same result that Kevin was getting ?:

>>>   Installing: kernel                       #########################
>>> [1/4] /sbin/mkinitrd: line 186: 12264 Segmentation fault      $ldso

If this is your case too, then you need to check the output of the:

ls -l /lib*/ld*.so*

and see if you have a old glibc file (o more than one) utility needed to run 
ELF executables. 

I don't have a x86_64 box available, but in my FC8 i386, the output from the 
above command is (check the /lib*/ld*.so* files contained in the glibc 
package for x86_64):

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 128952 2007-10-18 03:49 /lib/ld-2.7.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      9 2007-11-10 01:22 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.7.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     13 2007-11-10 02:23 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3 -> 
ld-linux.so.2

The current glibc version is 2.7-2, check your installation with:

# rpm -q glibc

If you have older glibc packages installed you can try to remove it, if you 
don't have the rpm packages installed, then may be you'll need to remove the 
older files manually.
