I am having the same problem. I believe the problem is with the
hardware probe. If I install with linux noprobe, I get past the place
where the install stops. Unfortunately this does me no good as I am not
familiar with the steps necessary to ensure FC4 sees all the appropriate
hardware. My motherboard is the MSI RS480M2-IL with a SATA drive.
As with Pete's post, all help is greatly appreciated.
