As of today (24 June 2011), Fedora 13 has reached its end of life for updates and support. No further updates, including security updates, will be available for Fedora 13. A previous reminder was sent on June 12th [0].
No-one has been able to offer a solution to the boot problem for my Gateway LT30 netbook - I am still getting similar problems to the ones I got after the Beta and RCs XFCE Live CD version installs to HD - so I am reposting in the hope that someone will see it this time who has a solution.
Why don't you try preupgrade or yum upgrade? I upgraded from F13 to F15 without any problems. If you have more than 640 MB of RAM, either should work. If you have less RAM, yum upgrade is your option.

If it also failed, I would no usable partition (I am installing to a different partition).
I guess in that case you are left with few other options. You can do a text mode installation. Did you try that? AFAIR, in earlier versions of Fedora you could select this option by passing "linux text" as an argument when booting the install medium. Not entirely sure its still available though. Note that it has limited partitioning abilities compared to the full feature installer.
The final but probably the most robust option would be to write a kickstart file and do a network based install. This might seem daunting, but it is rather easy to get a basic customised kickstart if you start from the kickstart files used by the Fedora live CDs.

$ lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07)
That is one of those dreaded poulsbo chipsets! I am not sure whether they are unsupported or not. Since it works with F13, this might be a regression bug. I would say its worth filing a report on bugzilla.
(It works fine with F13).
Thanks,
Phil.
I hope the pointers above will get you started. GL.
