Well, you could try with kernel from here:
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC3/RPMS.kernel/

As I said earlier, that 2.6.9-1.715_FC3 works better than those
labeled as FC4. And those seems to have gpg signatures also, which is nice.
And there is no need for you to use smp kernels (unless you have
computer that benefits for those).

I assume that you could file a bug entry on that one:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/index.cgi. 
And if kernel from
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC3/RPMS.kernel/ 
don't work either file a bug for that one also.
