Fedora 6 Installation hangs [newby]


I'm trying to install Fedora 6 on my PC.
I checked the hash values before burning the CD's.

After it displays the screen "Loading SCSI driver" "Loading ata_piix driver" it just hangs, no matter what option I choose.

My PC has the following configuration:

Pentium IV 2600MHZ
ASUS P4P800 motherboard (Intel Springdale i865PE chipset)
AMI BIOS (latest)
2 IDE Hard drives (WD400 JB and WD400BB)
1 SATA Hard drive (WD2500KS) (I tried disconnecting the SATA drive, it doesn't help)
LG DVD-ROM (HL-DT-STDVD-ROMGD) model GDR-8161B
LG R/RW (HL-DT-ST-GCE-8520B) model GCE-8520B
ASUS V9520-x graphics card (nVidia FX 5200)

I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Check is any BIOS upgrade is available for your Mother Board. Also check if the BIOS provides different modes for the Disks. These steps can help but not a sure shot resolution.

Thanks.
I have the latest BIOS. No particular settings for IDE disks. I disconnected the SATA disk and it didn't help.
