Since this is an FC3 system maybe you should consider upgrading the
distro sometime soon, but not due to the issues below.

You should add fedora legacy to the sources (automatically done by
atrpms-package-config unless you have manually modified something).

So maybe simply upgrading atrpms-package-config and then apt-get
update will get the system into the proper state. Otherwise make sure
fedora legacy is used.

All FC3 kmdls require the fedora legacy kernel, which is the proper
upgrade path for FC3.
