Hi, I solved the problem with yum. It seems that the reason was following:
I had two versions of udev (i.e. the old one was not removed durinig the
installation of new one; why? I do not know).
Now I have fully updated system but I have problem with gdm. It does not
starts after booting. X reports that modules bitmap and pcidata cannot be
found.
I have no idea what to do.

Hi Tim,
You could try firstly this:
prompt> yum update yum
and if you continue with problems, then I suggest this:
Add support for other repositories
Fedora comes with a ton of software but there are still plenty of packages
of interest to most users that are not included for a variety of reasons.
This is where you find the MP3 plug-in and a ton of other packages. Yum is
now the preferred update format, however the handy RHN icon on the GNOME
task bar that I like (but nobody else does) still seems to be tied to the
old RHN method using up2date.
Before you add repositories it's probably a good idea to make sure your
system is fully updated first. It's still early but right now the Livna and
freshrpms repositories seems to be the most useful. The easiest way to get
started is to install the freshrpms-release packages:
# rpm -ihv
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/livna-release-4-0.lvn.2.4.noa...
# rpm -ihv
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/4/i386/RPMS.freshrpms/freshrpms-rel...
You can browse the packages available there at
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/ and
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/4/i386/RPMS.freshrpms/.
bye !
