try some of the boot options listed in item 6 of fedorafaq (for FC-3)

Q: I have strange installation problems. 
A: If your installation doesn't work, or you have problems during or
after installation, first read the README

<http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/README-en.html>

and the Release Notes.

<http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/RELEASE-NOTES-en.html>

If the README and Release Notes don't have a solution for your problem,
try booting the installer with one of the following commands:

linux ide=nodma

linux acpi=off

linux i8042.nomux

linux acpi=off apm=off

The "i8042.nomux" is especially helpful if you have keyboard or mouse
problems.

If any of those commands fixes your problem, please file a bug in Red
Hat's Bugzilla.

(Thanks to Alan Cox for all this information.)
