Have you tried updating the PC bios to the latest version.
Also Have you tried to do a clean install of FC3 and not upgrading RH8 (be careful not to delete your work). Maybe just chuck in a spare hard disk just to see if the upgrade path is the issue.
Try removing any hardware that is not needed for the initial install and add them later.
Hope this helps

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

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
