Actually, looking back through my logs, I think you might be fine with a
2.6.18 kernel. My FC5 box at home is currently at '2.6.18-1.2257.fc5smp',
which was an update to their shipping kernel. So a simple "yum update"
should get you going with the least amount of pain. If you hit anything else
that's been fixed between 2.6.18 and now, then we can talk about upgrading
your whole distro :)
