Fedora 8 (Werewolf) update story (part 2) & Record load average

Again I tried to run Kmail and the load average went 34. Screen shot is here. In top I can see many kio_file process opened.

yum update
tried to install Kernel i586 whereas i686 version is already installed. I found that dependency came from kmod-ndiswrapper , the livna repo. No idea why !!
