This looks okay AFAIK.

Ditto, all my machines are on 2.6 now.  It should work on 2.4... 

Why don't you run tail -f /var/log/messages in a console window and plug the 
thing in, see if anything suggestive pops up.

Also, I heartily recommend yum for keeping your machine up to date, although 
there's not much wrong with apt and up2date.  You can get an 
improved /etc/yum.conf from here:

Then do yum update and see what it says.  You can also use yum to update your 
FC1 -> FC2, I did this on a couple of machines, including one server in 
another country over ssh with good success.  But actually installing from the 
isos will be more certain.
