newbie cant install fedora

[Frank Lenhard]

Hello list,

first post here.:)

i downloaded the fedora core4 iso, burned the dvd and
try to install linux.
for some reason linux doesnt boot into the installer but instead gives
me a kernel panic error:

kernel panic not synching: VFS: unable to mount root FS to unknown
block (3,2)
then flowwed by screens full of numbers and codes.

i use a opteron246 system with 2gb ram, QuadroFX1000 and for this
purpose a ide harddisk.
on this harddisk is a installation of suse linux.
i tried the noprobe and acpi=off options at the promt (when it aks me
to hit enter to get to the graphical installer)

any help would be greatly appreciated.
