I don't know the details, but read that there are a few potential 
glitches. I picked this up from another list:

yum clean all            # (optional)
yum list | grep openmpi     # (checking to see if it is installed)
yum list | grep lam         # (checking to see if it is installed)
yum update glibc\*         # (install glibc and accessory libraries)
yum update                 # (do the deed)
rpm -q centos-release     #(check if it is showing up proper)

That  should return: 'centos-release-5-3.el5.centos.1'
