I've used yum to upgrade from RH7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0 to RHE3 a few times just
fine. Sometimes you have to uninstall a few things to get the deps to resolve.
The only problem I had was upgrading from RH8.0. I kept getting rpmdb errors
with rpm transactions with more than ~40 packages. I just did 'yum update rpm'
and rebuild the rpmdb and it went fine from there.
