Thanks Marc
not sure what you mean by the BIOS safe settings.
I did try the kernel params : acpi=off acpi=ht pci=noacpi
but still the same Kernel panic.
However, my actual trace info is different to the one listed at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124329
:

After some searching
this is the same issue as reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124329
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on machine
2. Insert FC2 disc 1
3. Select graphic or text install
Actual Results: Kernel panic.
Expected Results: Installation to proceed normally.

-- I don't see any resolution yet, just the bug report.

Steve - I don't think anyone has given you the most obvious answer yet: have you set your bios to default "safe" settings? It seems to be an acpi problem - maybe a bios update or switch as much of the acpi stuff off as possible?
Hope this helps.
