Hello,

      My story may be somewhat similar.  I can use the first disk to 
boot (and install successfully) FC4T3.  In fact, I can do a complete 
install on my Dell Dimension xps 600t and my IBM ThinkPad T-30.  
However, when I try to do the same install on my Dell Inspiron 4000, I 
cannot even boot the computer with it.  I never had problems with Fedora 
Core 2 and Fedora Core 3, only with the test versions of Fedora Core 4 
(test 1,2,3).  Has anyone had problems with this installation on Dell 
laptops?  I have already gone to bugzilla and it seems that a similar 
problem seem to be the case only with Dell Laptops.  Any suggestions to 
correct this problem would be greatly appreciated.
