The main problem here is that FC5 *needs* a 2.6 era kernel to handle the
dynamic /dev directory. It won't support 2.4 without a certain amount of
surgery.

Well, you'll still be back against the 2.6 requirement. But you may find
that the compat-gcc-* packages (and editing the top-level makefile to
look for that, not gcc) will allow you to compile your kernel.

Hope this helps,

James.
