Installation problems on centrino laptop

[Cody Y]

Hi,
I'm trying to install Fedora Core 3 on my laptop. It's a 1.6ghz 
centrino. I'm having 2 problems. Firstly, if I leave acpi on, then I get 
a little ways into the installation, and get the error message, 
"Critical temperature reached." Normally I would be concerned about 
this, but the temperature that it lists is wildly fluctuating. I've had 
38 degrees celcius to 3184 degrees celcius.

Okay, so fine, I just try it with "linux acpi=off" and I stop getting 
the error messages. But then, another problem! I partition my disks (I 
love the graphical installer, I used to use slackware.) choose my 
packages, and it locks up half way through install. On, "Gnome desktop 
manager" if I recall correctly.

Okay, I won't use Gnome, I'll use KDE (Or install gnome after). I 
uncheck gnome, and it crashes at the same point trying to install the 
gnome package... Am I missing something?

Some information: I have a 'no name' brand laptop. It's a cicero, which 
is Future Shop's in house brand. After a little bit of research, I've 
found out that it's either a rebranded seanix laptop, or a rebranded 
CLEVO laptop. Model number is: M120c

Thanks,
-Cody
