Unable to install Fedora core 13 on Dell Vostro 3500 with i5

[Muhammad Uzair Khan]

Thankyou everyone for the quick responses. I tried the noapic acpi=off
  option and it worked like a charm.  Finally managed to boot from the 
live cd and am currently installing fedora 13 to hard disk.
Thank you again  for your assistance.

regards
khan
