Sorry to ask the obvious -- but it's a good burned disk, and a good 
cdrom?  Have you tried another cdrom drive?

Try to eliminate any extra hardware that might cause hangs (like 
soundcard, etc -- although to be honest that's really a tip from years 
ago when device drivers weren't so good)

Reseat everything...

Try to install a different distro, see if it's FC4...

I'll keep scratching my head if you can't figure it out.
