Few days back, my friend also faced a similar problem while installing it in his samsung PC. I think after diagnosing problem that it might be due to 128MB RAM. Fedora Core 1 needs 256MB or more RAM for proper functioning (as spelled in the Release Notes).But, he had 128MB RAM. He has now installed RH 9 and its working fine. Many of my friends and I have the required RAM and other hardware and FC1 is working better than anything.
