Are you using a flat screen display?

Unfortunately, adding these commands below did not help. I still see
a waterfall of multi-colored pixels.
I'm at a total loss on this. Redhat 8.0 installed just fine with the
current hardware configuration.
Any other ideas? I really want to stay with Linux.
Thanks
Dave

Thanks for replying Tony. The waterfall happens directly and almost
immediately after the GRUB boot command. Within a minute or two, it
freezes to a static multi-colored screen of gibberish.
I have seen reference to 'quiet' and rhgb' but where would those
go/where
would I remove them? They are not on the command line args in GRUB as
viewed by typing 'e'.
OK
Sounds like there's some incompatibility between the hardware and FC.
Try adding one or more of the following to your command line when you
boot
from grub (by pressing 'e'):
noapic
noide
noapm
If neither of those work, try booting into single mode 'single'
and seeing if you can get into the machine.
Any successes/failures, come back to me with reports :p
