Question Fedora 2 crash at start of install or mediacheck ?!?!


I've tested the ISO's I've downloaded, and tested the burned CD, and the both seem perfect (ISO verified with MD5 and CD scaned with kprobe).

But whenever I start the graphic installation, or mediacheck, each time these processes reach the line:
initrd.img...................................

The computer restarts itself

This computer runs:
Red Hat 9
Mandrake 10.0 + 10.1
WinXP
Win2k

Without any stability problem.

I've burned the 1st CD again using my Plextor Premium CD-RW this time (both times excellent TDK media which NEVER gives me any readability problems), and again the crash

I've ran the memtest86 scan for a few passes and no error what so ever.
I tried the "linux noprobe" option, and again the crash.

My system:
P4 3.2GHz (Northwood)
Asus P4P800 (bios 1018)
1GB RAM (2 x 512MB)
Adaptec 39160 controller (firmware 3.10)
Seagate Baraccuda 7200.7 120GB 8MB buffer (Parallal ATA)
Seagate Baraccuda 7200.7 120GB 8MB buffer (Serial ATA)
Seagate Cheetah 15k.3 73GB
Toshiba SD-M1802 DVD-ROM


Any idea?
Is this a known bug?

Thanks!
Tom
