FC2 > FC3 bad kernel woes

[Shannon Scott]

Happy Holidays.
I recently tried to upgrade Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 3.  
It turns out the FC3 cd's I burned had kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3 with these
related bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=139691
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=139674
 
If you go here:

You will see that the suggested fix is to reboot, and use the grub menu
to select an older kernel.  I don't think this is an option for me
because I was upgrading from FC2.  I only found the single FC3 kernel in
the /boot directory after booting with the rescue disk.
So I downloaded the newest kernel rpm (kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3),  booted
to the rescue disk, performed the 'chroot /mnt/sysimage', and installed
the kernel rpm.  The system still wouldn't boot.
So I downloaded the newest kernel source, booted to the rescue disk,
performed the 'chroot /mnt/sysimage', and compiled it using these
instructions:
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-26572.html  (
second post - using 'make oldconfig').
That won't boot either. 
What can I try next?  
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Shannon
