Pls help to so;ve this issue.

Going from CentOS 4.3 to 4.4 is very different than going from 4.X to 5.X. If you really want to do this, read this mailing list's archives. It has had several threads on how to perform the update using yum. It is not recommended, but can be done if you take the appropriate precautions.
