well depmod -a and updatedb are always good ideas after extensive updating, and rpm --rebuilddb, too, but the most critical thing is ALWAYS INSTALL the kernel, never update it. updates are extensively tested by Vincent Danen, by his security team, and by QA before they are released We even have dodges for an rpm whose %postun stanza removes links, to reestablish them afterward in the case of update.
