Step #1: up2date -fu  (or yum update)

2.6.5 is so old I don't even remember what issues that kernel had.
The latest FC2 update is 2.6.10. There's a number of issues however
that still aren't worked out, including several USB problems.
It's possible these may fall out in 2.6.11, but I've not seen
sufficient feedback from the rawhide kernels in that regard.

However staying on 2.6.5 isn't going to help your cause any.
