Fedora Core 3 (FC3) is really old. I never used it but do have RHEL3 which would have been based on it. RHEL3 has a 2.4 kernel so I would think FC3 is based on 2.4 kernel as well.

If that is the case going to 2.6 kernel would be a major upgrade - there are significant differences in the way 2.4 and 2.6 kernels work including the way they use drivers such as QLA (Qlogic).

FC4 is based on 2.6 kernel but it too is really old now. Fedora 8 (F8 - no longer called Fedora Core as of 7) has recently been released which should give you some idea of how old what you're doing is.

I'd urge you to do a complete reinstall to at least Fedora 7. Attempting to upgrade to Fedora 7 would likely be more trouble than it is worth so I'd suggest saving off important information and files then doing a fresh install. Of course before you attempt that on existing hardware you should be sure you can revert to FC3 - there may be old hardware that the newer kernel doesn't support without some effort. Verify what hardware you currently have (not just server name/model but things like network cards, etc...) and that there is support for them in the newer kernels.
