Yes. Forgot this step. kudzu conflicts on anything below 2.6.13. So from 
Fedora core 4,

Run yum install kernel. Boot into 2.6.14 and make sure that runs 
properly. Remove the older kernel using ( package-cleanup from yum-utils 
is useful here) and then follow the steps above. installonlyn yum plugin 
installed by default in the current development version only retains the 
last 2 kernels. So that helps. I will add all this information to the 
testing guide.
