I have now managed to install the kernel update, third time lucky!
What's the output of:

$ rpm -ql kernel | grep n_hdlc
Does not output anything!
Seems the kernel has been updated but still no n_hdlc module!
This is because the i586 kernel does not include this module but the
i686 kernel does. You've installed the i586 kernel. What sort of
processor do you have?
Its an old AMD K6-2.400
Hmm, I've got a K6-200 running FC5 at home... that has an i586 kernel too.
I'm afraid I don't know why this kernel module is not included in the
i586 kernels but it is in the i686 versions.
If there's a good reason for it not being included then you have
problems. Perhaps someone more au fait with the kernel knows.
If it's accidental that it's not included, then you should be able to
request in bugzilla that it gets included in future i586 kernel
releases, and you could try compiling the module "out of tree". Do you
have the kernel 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 SRPM or any other source for that module?
