Maybe OT on this list, but anyway:

I've got an Xeon EM64T 4G machine that couldn't install
FC3. The trick was to limit the memory to e.g. 2G during
the install and the first boot, install a newer kernel
(in my case 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp, I couldn't get the
2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp kernel to work with the NVidia driver).

After the kernel upgrade, one can remove the
mem=2048 limit and use all the RAM.
