Fwd: Failure to install FC4 onto Celeron D 331 based system

I have some trouble to install Redhat's Fedora core 4 product onto the
computer here. I have been doing a lot of looking on the Internet but have
no results to helping to accomplish this. This computer has a Onda 910glm
mother board with 512mb RAM, Intel Celeron D 331 (LGA775 socket package).
S-ATA 120 Gb Maxtor hd, AMI BIOS (Ver. 08.00.11, build 02/24/05, ID:
I915V10M). I boot from the CD to the main start screen and <ENTER> to
continue. Vmlinuz installs and probes the drives. Then I get error message
"Cannot open root device "NULL" or unknown block (3,2)....Kernel panic -
unable to mount root FS....
I am trying the x86_64 version (I also DL'ed the i386 version as well which
also fails to install). So now still stuck with WinXP (X64 Edition) until I
can solve this somehow.....

Does The basic Fedora Core 4 support the 64 bit Celeron D? Or will I need to
wait until FC5 is released? ..Perhaps the issue is something else again....
