It should. The latest kernel packaged by YDL is 2.6.9-1.ydl.8 and I can 
boot off my OldWorld G3 with it. It is in YDL's update repository, so 
yum will install it.

Making a backup of /etc (where most if not all system wide configuration 
files are stored) before starting the update is always a good idea.

If the upgrade then modifies some configurations (sometimes necessary 
for newer versions of some apps), you can always diff with your saved 
config to get things working again.
