Of course not.  Nobody would take "official FC6 source files", unmodified, 
and call them something else, just for the hell of it.

In that case, if you're having a problem with kernel support for your 
hardware, why are you asking about that here?  You should be taking all 
these issues to your vendor.  It's their kernel.  Not Fedora's kernel.

I used to see a bunch of error messages when booting one of my servers, 
about a year ago.  So much, in fact, that the Fedora kernel wouldn't even 
boot.

I'm fairly sure that all those error messages are still in the current 
kernel.  Except that the kernel bug that triggered them has been fixed now.  
And I don't see those error messages, any more.

Just because the literal text of a bunch of error messages is the same as in 
the stock Fedora kernel, that means zilch, in your case.  There may very 
well be completely different reasons why they would end up being reported in 
your kernel, and in Fedora's kernel.  Trying to follow up on the reason why 
those error messages might be reported by Fedora is likely to do nothing but 
set you off on a wild goose chase.

The only useful information anyone can give you here is regarding stock 
Fedora kernels.  Since you don't use them, none of that information will be 
very useful for you.

Only your vendor can give you an accurante answer to that question.  Nobody 
around here knows what exactly is in the kernel you're running.  I'm sure 
that a fairly good guess can be made, but this is just one of those things 
where "fairly good" is not good enough.  You have to know exactly what's in 
there.
