I upgraded my i386 Centos 5.3 linode today to 5.4.
I was very smooth. Just follow the Centos suggested upgrade
procedure (mirrors may be a little slow since it was just announced today).

yum clean all
yum update glibc\*
yum update yum\* rpm\* python\*
yum clean all
yum update
shutdown -r now

I have updated my CentOS 5.* fine by executing 'yum update' and not restarting.

However, if I were to do CentOS 4 -> CentOS 5, then I would be rebooting.
