It wouldn't have been news to you if you'd read the release notes for 
Fedora Core 2:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc2/x86/

See the "kernel" section of the "Package-Specific Notes".

I would strongly recommend to everyone installing Fedora Core that they 
*read the release notes*. It would avoid so many questions popping up on 
this busy list that could have been avoided.
