Problems with Fedora on VA Linux dual proc machine

[alan]

I am trying to install Fedora core 1 or Fedora core 2 on a VA Linux dual 
500mhz box.

It hangs in the middle of loading the scsi module. It is an Adaptec scsi 
controller. (I can't get to the model number at the moment. It is in the 
middle of a Redhat 9 install.)

The same box is able to use Redhat 9, so it is something peculular to 
Fedora.

The motherboard uses an Intel 440GLX+ chipset. It has two 500mhz Intel 
processors and 512megs of memory.

I have one Quantum scsi drive and an ide DVD-rom drive.

Anyone see this problem before?
