I am trying to install FC4 on an IBM p-series. I have created a bootable CD 
from the images/pseries boot.iso file which was on CD1. It starts by 
loading Elf64, then loads the RAMDISK, then displays some messages about 
memory, and looks for a display adapter. Then the screen goes white, and 
the following messages appear:

done

Then it just hangs and I have to reboot.

Any idea why it would be doing this or how to fix it?

Thanks

Paul
