Yes, you have to download the tarball from kernel.org and recompile. Make
sure you add the following to the .config file:
CONFIG_4KSTACKS = n
CONFIG_REGPARM = n
Apparently the FC2 kernel has been modified and you can't use these with
it. It's the 4k stack that's causing the problem.

The 5336 driver won't work with the FC2 kernel.
