Saw oops message in the another message. Its looks like a network
device related crash - possibly hardware related (its very hard to
tell).
What's the machine hardware configuration?

Beyond that, can you upgrade (.....) the machine to something
maintained? In this case (given the apparent age of the hardware) RHEL
5.x or CentOS 5.x? Both should be more-or-less comparable to your
existing FC5 setup, but will carry many (!!!) stability and security
enhancement compared to your existing FC5 installation.
