Panic when installing FC8 on LGA775 Intel motherboard

[Ian Brown]

Hello,
  I am trying to install FC8 on LGA775 Intel motherboard and getting
the good old
"Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!".

I had tried the trick which was used on FC4 with SATA disks, namely to
enter some gibrish
at the boot: prompt and than press "enter", but again I reach the
"Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!".

  - The same happens with Fedora Core 6.

  - My machine is 32 bit.

Any ideas?

Any pointers will be welcomed.

Regards,
Ian Brown
