If you are getting the update from the main Fedora Core repository or an 
official mirror you should have no problem. I have download new kernels 
several times on my FC3 machine with no problems. The only problem I 
have had with up2date has been it usually appearing to hang while doing 
dependency checks when there are a large number (around 50 to 100) of 
packages available for update. I only find I run in to that situation 
just after a new install. The easy solution to that problem is to do the 
update by invoking yum from a command line instead of using up2date.
