Looking at the rkhunter script..

# Extract information from Operating System database
os_string=`cat ${DB_PATH}/os.dat | grep "${full_osname}:"`
os_id=`echo ${os_string} | cut -d ":" -f1`
md5=`echo ${os_string} | cut -d ":" -f3`
if [ -z "${md5}" ]; then
md5="md5_not_known"
fi

Basically "Fedora Core 4" isn't listed in the os.dat database so it causes these warnings and disables the MD5 check. The latest rkhunter (1.2.7) doesn't have FC4 listed either. So we'll just have to wait for the author to add support.
