How about every p4p800 model>

Here is the relative FC2 release note:

"Installation-Related Issues

 Attempts to install Fedora Core 2 on ASUS® motherboards in the P4P800 
series may not proceed past the "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the 
kernel." message, making installation impossible. No workaround is 
available at this time. "

Here is the bug:

Here is Redhat's response to this problem:

It is irrelevant. This issue has been known since FC2 test 2, and I 
would assume if anyone had this motherboard or any ASUS MB would respond 
with their personal work-around. My configuration is basically the same 
as the many of the others.

This post was to elicit responses from people have the problem and are 
working on it such as myself.
