It could just be a kernel bug that RedHat didn't back port (or one that
can't be backported easily).  Or just a driver update (eg adding a few
lines to a driver scan structure) that has not been backported yet.

You could get the kernel sources for both kernels and compare the
relevant .c and .h files and possibly patch the centos.plus kernel and
rebuild it.  Probably not for the faint hearted...

It might also be possible to install the FC10 kernel itself...
