Thanks, Axel, that worked great.

FWIW, this upgrade was all hampered by this bug -> 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366641
Many others have been having problems upgrading to FC8 if they have
3rd party repos installed.

In addition to your suggestion, I did the following.
enabled all FC8 repos.
yum update rpm\* yum\*
yum update kernel
yum update kmdl stuff

That got me to a base FC8 kernel, but then doing a "yum upgrade" proved
a total PITA due to dependency issues.  I basically had to manually
fight with dependencies for the last 24 hours to get a working system.

Also, not all things get upgraded to FC8.  Even the official repos have
FC7 packages till listed.  Not a big deal, but if you are trying to get
rid of all FC7/6 RPMS, you won't be able to.

package-cleanup --orphans also helped a lot to find older RPMs that
could be safely deleted.

I was eventually able to do a yum upgrade and get everything to resolve.
One further issue I have is I can't "yum groupupdate Base" to ensure I
have everything I need.  It keeps trying to install the i386 versions of
stuff instead of the x86_64.  Still researching that one.

Thanks for the help.
