Therefore it brings us to
 numlock / capslock should respond i.e keyboard LED indicators should flip
in reasonable time (<60sec  / <your paitience)
else it is deadlock if there is no HDD/CD/DVD activity

and what after that

UR not (tweaking) sharing swap space between FC4 and FC5.
Did U burn the disc at max speed, if all else fails, try a low speed burn or
better may be a CD-LESS install. See other recent threads on some very good
howto
Also the other suggestion is good that U remove ATI card and install with
on-board VGA/AGP.
