Install hang on a Dell PowerEdge SC1430

[Steve Dickson]

Are there known issues with F8 (and F7) being
installed on PowerEdges? Booting from DVD (and CDs)
I get the following three lines than nothing...

    Loading Vmlinuz........
    Loading initrd.img.....
    Read.

This happens with both x86 and x86_64 installs 
from DVD of either F8 or F7. I also tried burning
the boot.iso from the DVD to a CD and boot from
that with the same results.

Being this is pretty broken, I'm hoping this is a known
problem and there is some type of workaround.

tia,

steved.

If that fixes it, visit https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379411
and add your report.

(This bug was supposedly fixed before release but still seems to be
present, just a lot less common than before.)
