I've just tried
linux noprobe nofb
and the installation went through until I booted up where upon it hung just after testing for I think it was network audio and something else (forgotten)
also tried to reboot with notext and with noprobe nofb in the grub line, but stuck at same place :-(
I'd be interested if Ken gets any further?

I've tried installing FC4 for 64 bit - but it sticks at /sbin/loader so that Linux never really starts!
I've attempted linux text but sticks at same place.
I'm using a new ATi X800 card which is the only thing diffrent since \i last used this kit with FC3
Is it the card or something else? Any solutions?
HELP appreciated :-)</snip>
I am having the same problem. I believe the problem is with the hardware probe. If I install with linux noprobe, I get past the place where the install stops. Unfortunately this does me no good as I am not familiar with the steps necessary to ensure FC4 sees all the appropriate hardware. My motherboard is the MSI RS480M2-IL with a SATA drive.
As with Pete's post, all help is greatly appreciated.
