Its quite clearly indicated in the release notes that a cross Version
upgrade from CentOS3 to CentOS4 is not supported. This issue has been
covered in details previously on the list a few times, you might want to
search the archives to see what people had to say.
In a nutshell, unless you really understand the implications of
upgrading using up2date or yum, reinstall is the best option ( or in a
pinch, use the upgradeany install option after you remove all third
party rpm's and packages ).
