I am suspecting that certain motherboards are not supported. In my
case its "ASRock" motherboard for P4 with Hyperthreading capabilities
and I had no luck installing FC5 or FC4 in this machine. It stops at
certain point after vmlinuz starts. I had posted this message long
time ago but no answer from anybody. Please have a look at this:

FC6 test 2 failed too, (after FC5 and FC4) the same way. therefore, the
version of the kernel is very probably not the cause of the failure.
Its hard for me to believe that a commun MB is not supported (Intel says
linux supported, and i updated the BIOS).
- Is there any kind of mistake that i could have done when i plugged the
hardware ? or when i setted the BIOS choices ?
- If i have to use another MB, what would you advice has a safe choice.
