I tried this. The update just went through the motions and concluded that
the install was completed. No change in modules.

I had a similiar problem and I had to do an install instead of an
upgrade from the installation CD. I only installed the kernel. The
upgrade would not work as the rpm database said that the kernel was
installed already.
My computer crashed during a kernel upgrade and I could not install
teh kernel from RPM using either booting off of the CD or the
emergency disk.
It did change my boot from dual (FC/XP) so I cannot boot into XP but I
don't care as I was about to trash XP anyways.
This was a good lesson in keeping an older kernel on the HD in cases
something like this happens again.
