Yes now it works, it is starting to update. However, new problem: warning: /etc/passwd created as /etc/passwd.rpmnew warning: /usr/lib/security/classpath.security created as /usr/lib/security/classpath.security.rpmnew warning: /etc/pam.d/system-auth created as /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew What does that actually mean? Could I just copy the passwd to passwd.bak and then rename passwd.rpmnew to passwd? And same for the others?

If you know you have another kernel which does work then you can remove the 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 kernel.
