Actually I didn't do this before with RHEL, But I did this many times
with Fedora and I think the concept is the same. You have to install
first the package that identify the system as RHEL5 so it update it
self as RHEL5 and make the conversion, It's name is fedora-release and
fedora-release-notes in Fedora systems.
You should check if you installed any extra packages on RHEL4 if it's
not related to RHEL4 or 5, as you may find this extra software is not
compatible with the new release of RHEL, That happened many times
before.
Check what RedHat documents talk about this upgrade and read it first.
