Fedora 8.0 Installation problems

  I need to reiterate that when I boot from my fedora DVD initially, it appears like it loads my drivers OK as soon as it boots. This usually takes 2-3 minutes. It then asks me for my languages. Then I chose the CD installation method. At this point it says that my device driver cannot be found, and gives me a number of different drivers to choose from including several different types of SCSI. I am just not sure which one I should use for the install.  It will not let me go beyond this step.  Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

It's now a scsi-drive, so you're most likely to find it
like /dev/scc0 /dev/scd0 or something like that, if you've been running
an earlier version of Fedora that used /dev/hdc0.
