I have tried memtest that is part of the fedora8 installation DVD and it
passed but the installer still crashes. Just for the sake of testing,
i have booted through Fedora 7 install Disk and installer goes through
successfully so it makes me believe that there is an issue with Fedora8
installer. Not sure if anybody else on this list have seen this before.
Any further thoughts?
Thanks

I am trying to install Fedora 8 (i386) onto a machine which is already

past the "Media check". Actually, after the media check installer
throws "loader received SIGSEGV!" and quits. I have tried the
installer with noapic and acpi=off options to no avail. I had no
installation issues with Fedora 7. Here is the smolt link for the laptop.

I have also tried booting with Fedora Live CD and Rescue CD but i get
loader crashes.
I had a similar problem with F7 last night. It was bad ram.
Get a copy of Memtest86 and test your ram. http://www/memtest86.com/
