Installation fails with 64bit DVD FC4

[Pete Bradbury]

I've just tried

 linux noprobe nofb

and the installation went through until I booted up where upon it hung just 
after testing for I think it was network audio and something else 
(forgotten)

also tried to reboot with notext and with noprobe nofb in the grub line, but 
stuck at same place :-(

I'd be interested if Ken gets any further?
