exactly. The dump is a good idea. Make sure that you compile with the same options to configure as your 4.0.4 build (everything should go to the same directory as it was before). This used to be a problem with SuSE distributions when installing over an old prm installation, because they used to have a different directory layout. I can't tell you how RedHat did this.
