try booting with:

linux nofb pci=off

that worked for me. But My install just freezes at the
'running /sbin/loader' line....

This got me to the "Do you have a driver disk?" screen.  Upon selecting
"No", I get a metric boatload of Cyrillic characters against a blue
background, then back to the "install exited abnormally -- received
signal 11", then more Cyrillic garbage.

*sigh*

Looks like this might have been for nothing.  I re-burned all three ISOs
and was able to install FC 0.94 successfully.  The install previously
never got far enough to perform a media check, so I'm going to chalk
this one up to a bad burn.

Shazbot!
