Well if you loaded FC3 on the same computer without a problem then
the cd-rom's you made of FC5 are at fault. Sounds like you need to d/l
all those ISO files again. or you can just d/l the first and see if it
works right. I have loaded FC5 three time with success with mine.

also tried these options in combination. They all result in
nothing but a black screen.

Steve, if you have any earlier versions of Fedora Core software
please try them and see what they produce.

If I enter 'linux mediacheck' at the boot prompt, I also get

media check?
It sounds now as if the loader can't guess well enough what
your video card is and your monitor is. So try starting with
"linux-text" and see if that comes up.

Any ideas on getting an install process that I can see

Thanks!

Did you test your cd-rom's before trying to load? It might be
a problem in disk 1. I loaded that way no problem.
