Due to teh buggy installonly feature in yum that wants to remove this
old kernel and OTOH yum find out that it forgot to remove the packages
depending on this package. Please report to bugzilla.redhat.com.

Never add kmdls to installonlypkgs. There is no need and in fact you
are breaking them. kmdls are just normal packages like every other
package but the kernel.

Install yum-plugin-kmdl, turn off installonly-bug and then you'll be
able tp upgrade from FC1 to F8 (from ATrpms POV ;).
