anaconda installer hangs during running /sbin/loader

Anyone seen this problem before? I get this portion when trying to install Fedora 8 (Install Media DVD)

Code:

Greetings.

anaconda installer init version 11.3.0.50 starting

mounting /proc filesystem... done

creating /dev filesystem... done

mounting /dev/pts (unix98 pty) filesystem... done

mounting /sys filesystem... done

trying to remount root filesystem read write... done

mounting /tmp as ramfs... done

running install...

running /sbin/loader

Then it hangs...
I've tried text mode as well and it hangs at the same part.

I've tried to download Fedora 8 twice, once through bittorrent and once through Direct Download. I've tried different DVD media.

Current hardware I'm loading Fedora 8 on is
DELL D610

Let a newbie know please.

I had a similar error directly downloading and assumed it was a bad iso.
Unfortunately I can't be sure it was the same error.
I have a hp dc5000 and am looking up the motherboard now. Will post results.

My motherboard is 360427-001 I think, but I cuoldn't find out anything

I figured it out.

Just be patient and wait. Eventually it will run. I would have to wait about 15 minutes to get the thing to run. With my IBM laptop, it runs fine. On my Dell, it chugs.

Thanks for the update, I'll see what happens on mine
