FC4 installation on p-series

[Sundarapandian A]

I know this may sound crazy but it solved my problem similar to yours.
When the Linux loader on CD1 asks for the image name enter some junk,
say, "abc" you'll get "image abc not found". Now you can type "linux"
to start your installation. I ain't have enough time to check what
exactly is happening :(

Regards,
Sundar.
