I bit the bullet and did all the updates, today, applicable to my box,
including:  The kernel, module-init-tools, alsa (the ones that I can
remember; for some reason the yum.log file hasn't been updated, so I
can't check).

And all went well, despite suffering a power outage during the download.
I let the install do it's business, rebooted with the new kernel, and
didn't have to do anything else.  This is on an old Gigabyte 6WMMC7
motherboard with on-board i810 video and on-board sound.
