Thanks for the suggestion. I installed FC1 onto my laptop. It seems to be working fine.I'm not much help, but I have gotten around similar problems in the past by choosing the text install instead of the gui. Another thing you might try is turning off any acpi settings in the BIOS of the laptop.

Hello all -
I posted this to linuxiso.org / forums, but so far only have received responses that would seem to indicate a lack of support (or hardware problem) for my system on FC2.
Here is the body of my original post. I'm hoping someone on the mailing list might provide more conclusive feedback as to whether I can use FC2, and if so, how. (I can install FC1 on this system, so, to some extent I'm convinced this is an FC2 issue. I have, since posting this, redownloaded / rechecked (md5sum) and re-bured the FC2 CDs and still am getting the same error).
=== ORIGINAL PROBLEM DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS ===
I'm attempting to install FC2 onto a Gateway laptop. I've build dual boot laptops using RH8 before, so I know what I'm doing, but I've never encountered this problem before...
First, a bit about the hardware - Gateway Laptop (Model 450ROG) Processor 1400 MHz Intel Pentium M (Centrino) / GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 9 1.4 GHz Stepping 5 512MB RAM 37.26 GB disk Ports: 1 Parallel, 2 Serial Bus type: PCI, ISA, USB BIOS: GATEWA - 20030403 Rev 1.0 1400 x 1050 in 32-Bit Color, MOBILITY RADEON 7500 Ver. 6.14
Now about the CDs - Downloaded from mirror checksummed the ISOs after downloading re-checksummed using KIIIb prior to burning the CDs
Now the problem description - When I boot from the first CD and select the GUI install, during the initial decompress of linux, I get the following error ...
89 68 10 89 f8 e8 85 e1 00 00 b8 37 00 00 00 e8 96 e3 00 00 <0> Kennel panic Attempted to kill init!
I tried booting again and running linux mediacheck and got the same error as described above.
Can someone tell me what I do now?
Really kind of bummed. Hope this isn't a hardware support problem. I'd really like to try Fedora, SuSE is ok, but I'd like to see how Fedora is coming along.
TiA for any feedback.

Given the numerous complaints about FC2, I amy wait a while, but then again, I amy just
go ahead and give your suggesitons a try to see if they work. Might as well before I spend
too much time tweaking my FC1 install right:? ;-) After all, I can easily re-install FC1 later.
