If ext2/3 is using new options you can normally turn them off using
tune2fs and then e2fsck with the version which support the option and it
will turn it off on the disk. I do this all the time with the BBC which
by default uses options not supported by CentOS. (And I use BBC to
image lab machines).
I assume most other FC -> CentOS4 issues will be solvable, same as RH9
-> CentOS3 and RH72 -> CentOS2.
