I provide this information reluctantly based on my previous experience posting to this community, which laughingly suggests it provides assistance, encouragement, and advice.
Fedora 15 Install/Rescue DVD checked out correctly on boot and check option. But it also causes a core dump when trying to start up.
Hmmm, I'm wondering whether this kernel bug might be the culprit

As it does appear to be a problem when iSCSI bus is being reset
I searched fo iSCSI on that page and did not find it. However, the generic scsi layer runs on top of the lower hardware drivers, which maybe ATA (IDE), or SATA or FLASH memory disk on USB.
As you know, /iSCSI/ is an abbreviation of Internet Small Computer System Interface. Do you have network acessible storage server which serves SCSI block devices which your PC accesses? During install, the network is not up, so how could iscsi be involved?

Certainly, while the anaconda from the Fedora 15 DVD install starts up, there is no network accessible storage. Unfortunately it causes a fault and a core dump before completing.
As it happens I do have a NAS attached to my local network, although why would that cause a problem? It certainly is not a problem for Fedora 14, but trying a boot with it switched off would do no harm.
No joy trying to boot with the NAS turned off.
Sigh
