Check the archives. This was discussed a month or two ago. Someone 
posted a link to a bootable iso image that used a newer kernel. What I 
did worked, but will take a lot longer. I updated all the firmware, then 
installed RedHat 9, and used yum to update to FC1. From an item in 
bugzilla I found:

The best "Non expert" way to update to Fedora 1 on such a box btw
seems to be the following (a decent net connection helps but you do
only need CD 1 for this 8))
 
Install RH9 (if not upgrading from it anyway)
Install fedora-release and yum packages from CD#1 of FC1
yum update rpm
rpm --rebuilddb
yum update krb5-libs e2fsprogs
yum update
