If ext2/3 is using new options you can normally turn them off using tune2fs and then e2fsck with the version which support the option and it will turn it off on the disk. I do this all the time with the BBC which by default uses options not supported by CentOS. (And I use BBC to image lab machines).

I assume most other FC -> CentOS4 issues will be solvable, same as RH9 -> CentOS3 and RH72 -> CentOS2.

Will it be possible to go from fedora to CentOS(THEL)4?

I found that fedora uses a newer version of fsck (part of some tools package) which i used to partition 2 drives. centos was unable to read the 2 drives because of this. I had to reformat with the older version for centos to be able to read it. This was a huge problem for me as i had over 200gb of data on the drives that i did not want to lose. There may be other problems like this because of going from newer to older versions of some software.
