Whoo. You're not having much luck, are you? Ubuntu works. FC4 works. Rawhide works. And it sounds like a kernel problem. In your case, I'd recommend that you try a yum upgrade between FC4 and FC5, then try running with a non-FC5 kernel. You could try the latest FC4 kernel on FC4, check that that is stable, then do the upgrade, and try running with the FC4 kernel. Yum upgrade notes can be found at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq . It doesn't explicitly tell you how to actually do the upgrade for FC4 -> FC5: it's the same procedure as FC3 -> FC4, except that you need to get an FC5 version of fedora-release: something like http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm (Since you've got a local copy of the RPMs, you could adapt Paul's YumRepoFromImages to get the RPMs from your local copy, rather than download it all again: http://www.city-fan.org/tips/YumRepoFromImages). Alternatively, you could try using the latest stable kernel from kernel.org. Good luck!
