On my main system here I cannot boot the install kernel, so can't
upgrade to FD1 on this system in place.

Total silence from the list when I asked if anybody wanted to
help to find out why.

Moved the disc to an older system and ran the upgrade there
(using the same CD's etc)

The single cpu kernel on the initial FD1 discs won't boot on the new
hardware, but the SMP kernel runs like a champ.

So there is at least some hardware out there that the Fedora, (and
previous install kernels) won't hack.
