Fresh install, or a fresh install with a vanilla kernel?
make sure ext4 is compiled in the kernel
(just sat for a few yours wondering why my system wasn't
booting!! ended up being just as simple as that)

If  you have not done anything to the internals then it could be the arch
of the cd, or maybe the livecd itself has no support for your machine
i.g. I'm noticing my imac with the 130 graphics card results in a black 
screen
(cant even install fedora on that machne!!)
