What distribution are you running?  The kernel which is trying to be
installed is from FC5.  The only way to get a conflict is if oprofile
is from an earlier release since FC5 comes with oprofile-0.9.1-8.
What version of oprofile do you have installed? Are you trying to do
an upgrade between releases?

I would suggest doing a "yum update" to bring everything up-to-date.
Alternatively, remove oprofile, update the kernel, and reinstall
oprofile with the new version.
