I have tried 5 different distros and the same thing happens. My next-to-last attempt was with Trustix, which did the same thing. Then I tried Trustix with Lilo instead of Grub, and everything worked. So, I'm guessing that the issue is with Grub. The problem is that I want to run Fedora, not Trustix. Any thoughts? I ran Redhat 6.1 years ago, and Suse (dual boot on a G3 Powerbook) about 2 years ago. Never really did anything with either one, so I am definitely new. DOS was so easy.

I suggest you go to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ and search some terms appropriate to your problem.  It may be a known bug in the installation program (it sounds familiar, actually) and there may be a patch, a work-around or both.  If not, and you are comfortable with the procedure for reporting a bug via Bugzilla, you should consider doing so.  Bugzilla is how I resolved my FC3 installation issues.
