When you are configuring the kernel with xconfig ensure that "Enable Microcode" is not enabled. That should solve that error.

Post the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.conf file. And a listing of your /boot and /lib/modules directories. Boot the system with the Fedora kernel. As root, run chkconfig microcode_ctl off This should fix the microcode message (which isn't your problem).
