Invalid or corrupt kernel image


Hello!

I am installing Fedora 16 XFCE spin on dual boot with WinXP.
I make fresh instal, have bad expiriences with update
Durin installation i used the same partition method that i used for Fedora 15 - set boot, swap and root partition, istalled bootloader on /boot.
OK.
Fedora installed, reboot, bootloader appears normaly, but then recieve this message

Error: Invalid or corrupt kernel image

And after this, WinXP starts normaly without any my action.

What to be a possible reason for this?
In be to wery first time to recieve that message, for now i am trying a few distros.
ISO image is downloaded via torrent

You did a checksum on the ISO? No other info before that error?

Find the checksum for the image at fedora site then do a checksum on your ISO if they're not the same then the you have an incomplete ISO. If the checksum is good then I'm not sure what the problem is.

OK, now i am a bit confused.
I downloaded all Fedora 16 spins - KDE, LXDE, XFCE and Desktop(Gnome), 32 and 64 bit
Checksum files are downloaded with them(i presume they are valid) and checksum failed for all except desktop Edition.

All files are downloaded via torrent(i use μtorrent) in Windows and burned with ImgBurn, also in Win.

What could be a reasun for this?

The reasons are many, but they don't matter, however ponder them if you wish.
Find an ISO that matches the checksum.

OK, and where i find them?
I downloaded iso files from here

http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options

and here

http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all

and from link under Alternative downloads - See all torrents

Is there any other source to download iso torrents or other iso-s of Fedora?
