I use yum rather than up2date, and I heard somebody say that up2date is 
a front-end to yum these days, and I also know that you can usually mix 
and match both without problems since they both respect the rpm 
database, so with that said:

   rpm -e kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4
   yum -y install kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4

Ought to do it.

I suppose you should be able to substitute

   up2date -i kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4

for yum, but I haven't used up2date on fc4 so I can speak with 
certainty.
