Lonni, Immediately after the line which says that the kernel is being decompressed and then booted. I don't see any error messages besides the kernel panic. I am wondering if the following might help at all...
1) boot under linux rescue 2) chroot so that the upgraded disk appears to be in use 3) try to yum update the chrooted upgraded linux disk to the latest kernel (or even to all the current packages).

That's the general idea. You should also go directly to the updates directory and download and install all available kernel updates, not just the latest kernel version. You may find that an intermediate kernel is bootable, but the most recent version is not.
If you cannot find a bootable kernel you are, pretty much, boned. There's nothing that you can do. Perhaps try your luck with a recent FC6 test kernel.

Does the grub kernel command line have "quiet" in it? If so, take it out and see if there is more detail.

If you can boot from an FC5 rescue disk and mount the filesystems you are proving that you can run FC5 in principle, and the problem is likely to be that you need the right boot options on the command line, or the initrd is missing some kernel modules (Installing a later kernel might fix any initrd problem automatically).
