A word of notice: asterisk/digium yum repos xmls haven't been updated 
yet (properly):

# yum clean all && yum list dahdi* kmod*

The yum isn't picking the RPMs for 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 from
http://packages.digium.com/centos/5/current/
and
http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/5/current/

So if you just yum update everything to 5.6, DAHDI will fail to load as 
there are no modules for 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5, as reported by repo xmls.
