The generic kernel should theoretically work with your system (file systems, etc.) because Red Hat starts with the generic kernel and then enhances it. FC1's kernel is still Linux, albeit a highly modified, faster, feature-rich grumbling beast. I used to use Win4Lin, and I too started with the generic kernel under RHL 7.2. Use the patches to teach yourself something about the kernel - and attempt to apply it using the kernel source RPM. It's a good introduction on how much a bitch modifying the intricate guts of the kernel can be. If the use of the generic kernel fails - you can always switch back to the FC1 kernel.
