Paul,
Please see my responses below (FYI, these were the first things I checked). Also I do not that Google'ing this seems to encounter a lot of people who recently have come across this issue...

The message "udev conflicts kernel< 0:2.6" suggests that you do still have a kernel that isn't 2.6 installed.
Nope. The 2.6.5-1.358 is the only kernel rpm installed.
What's the output of: $ rpm -qa 'kernel*'
[root@prarit root]# rpm -qa kernel kernel-2.6.5-1.358
Also, what version of yum do you have@ $ rpm -q yum
The version from FC3?
[root@prarit root]# rpm -q yum yum-2.1.11-3
