More specifically, it says: Searching for Fedora Core installations... 0% install exited abnormally -- received signal 15 kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes Additional information: If I remove "quiet" and add "single" to my boot options, I get: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery. kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: dm-0: orphan cleanup on readonly fs ...and there it hangs. Also, I ran memtest86 on the box for a while (a little over an hour), and found no errors.
