I found the same problem, and after installing, a 'yum update' also took forever. Eventually I narrowed it down to the test transaction stage, and in particular, the fact that I had about 15 old kernel-devel packages (from my previous FC4 installation) was crippling rpm transactions. I wrote a quick bash script to loop through and 'rpm -e' all my old FC4 kernel-devel packages - which took quite a long time. It seemed to cure the problem for me.
How do I know what kernel-devel packages I have? Did you grep it out of an rpm listing? If it is simple, would you be willing to post that script? I have another computer to upgrade eventually, so I might want to clean things up in advance.
