Andrew, you have not provided nearly enough info.

First, stick with Fedora 13. That's what most of us will be using.

First, what harware are you running? MB, CPU, GPU, memory (how much) in 
particular.

Second, what HD are you using?

Third, where did you get your Fedora? D/L, DVD, ...

You might wish to try Memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org) 
and the DVD validator that came with the dvd, if that's the case. You 
might also want to try the mfg's disk diagnostics as well. Start from 
scratch.

You're getting a kernel panic, so it's likely that there's something in 
your hardware that is inappropiate for the kernel that was installed.

Good luck.
