I'm getting this same error with an intel915 board. See my thread Fedora
Core 4 Kernel Panic. I haven't found a solution, but I did get that same
error message last night. I have a windows partition on my drive, so I can't
just zero the drive and try a new install. Actually maybe I'll ghost the
partition and then try zeroing the drive.
