There have been a couple of issues.

The current kernel (vmlinuz-2.6.23-0.15.rc0.git1.fc8) is broken, which
is what you're seeing. There hasn't been a replacement in rawhide yet.
The fedora kernel naming just changed so this is probably an artifact.

udev was also causing some module loading to fail on the previous
working kernels. That was corrected in the current one
(udev-113-4.fc8)
