And good luck with that. Fedora still back patches stuff from later kernels
than the one you think you have based on the name. Building a Linus kernel
and getting the right mix of versions to work on a particular version of
Fedora might be hard to do. If you can find the patch that fixes the
problem, your best bet (assuming you have to use FC4) would be to try to apply
that fix to the latest Fedora kernel for FC4.
