thanks,
i had the same problem yesterday and would search in bugzilla today.

my noname notebook had no problems with fc1,2,3,4,5t1
but fc5t2 cd#1, boot.iso, rescue.iso and yesteradys rawhide boot.iso, 
rescue.iso will not find the kernel.
if i put the cds in a other machine all is ok.

cd is bootable and than
Unknown keyword in config file.
boot:
Could not find kernel image: rescue
