The problem is your motherboard. There is an FC2 rescue disc that will fix this. Download and burn the rescue disc from the Fedora site, boot using the rescue disc, then switch media to your install CDs. Once the install has been performed, reboot with the rescue disc in the drive again and type "linux rescue" at the prompt. chroot /mnt/sysimage, open the links browser, and download a newer kernel (the one installed by default has the same problem as the install disc itself). rpm -Uvh the new kernel, reboot, and you should be OK.
