Running up2date did not help -- I was still in an FC3 system (kind of).
I manually installed the FC4 kernel and ran up2date again, but it was stuck on many packages, because up2date only wanted to freshen existing rpm's -- it didn't want to add any new ones to solve dependencies.
That's why you're almost always better off using 'yum' instead of 'up2date'. Yum is smart enough to track down and install dependencies for you. I would abandon using up2date unless you're using RedHat Enterprise Linux (which you're obviously not). You'd still have the same problem with yum that you had with up2date regarding the "system thinks it's FC3 instead of FC4" issue (hint: manually update an rpm by the name of "fedora-release") --Matt
