I have traced all such kernel panic errors to errors on the grub line being read. Does the kernel version conform to the initrd version. Is the root indicated really the root partition with the right name (or label) in the fstab file. Do you have an /initrd directory on the machine. etc, etc. and so forth.
Turns out the system-config-netboot package that Redhat produced is fundamentally broken.
It had set up Linux to boot from an initrd, however the initrd was missing the required libraries to make bash work, which in turn stopped their replacement init script from working, which in turn caused the kernel panic.
Performing a whole lot of surgery to the initrd file eventually got the system to netboot, but the Fedora Core 2 system still has a long way to go before it will work propery diskless. :(
