It could be a hardware issue or a software issue. We need more info.<br>
<br>
What stage of the installation are you in when this happens? I.e.
booting to the CD, middle of install, after install on first boot, etc.<br>
Are you stuck with FC3? Could you try FC4, Ubuntu, or others?<br>
What is the rest of the hardware? The processor rarely has
anything to do with these issues. Most often I see this kind of error
when your boot image doesn't have the module for your hard disk
controller. I've also had similar problems on machines with bad RAM
while trying to load the install CD's image into memory.<br>
<br>
Anyway, give us some more info and maybe we can help.<br>
