Fedore Core 3 hangs on install

[Carl Reynolds]

I am trying to install Fedora Core 3 on an AMD 2800 64 with 512MB RAM 
and 112GB HD. The Hardrive is a WesternDigital WD1200JD-00H SATA drive. 
I am using a Giga-Byte mother board with a ViA on board chip set. There 
is a video controller built in to the chip set and that is what I'm 
using as video output.

When I start the installation process the installer hangs with an 
X-Server failure almost as soon as I select Graphical Install.

I performed the installation in text mode using 'linux text xfs' to 
start the install.

Now that the installation is complete, the machine hangs on re-boot on a 
blank screen with the words "Booting 'Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)'" at the 
top of the screen and several seemingly randomly placed dots on the 
screen below it.

The CDs for the install are for x86-64.

Does anyone know what the problem is here and how I can get around it?

Thanks,

Carl.
