Installing Fedora 8 on Intel Core Duo

[Giulio Troccoli]

I have just bought a new PC which I am going to use as a server. I have 
been using Fedora Core 5 on the old one for about 5 years and I was very 
happy with it. I am also using Fedora 8 on my laptop and I'm very happy 
with it.

The installation goes very well, I've got all the screens and I choose 
what to install and what not. Mind you, at this point the server is NOT 
yet connected to the router (if that makes a different). After the 
installation has finished it ask to reboot, to which of course I say 
yes. But the boot hangs, or so it seems.

I've got the text output up to the point when it says "Starting udev". 
with one error maybe. The message "dmi_save_oem_string_devices: out of 
memory" appears. Then the screen goes black (and actually the monitor's 
light goes yellow, like there wasn't any signal). Nothing seems to bring 
it back to live.

I've read that maybe I should use Fedora 7 instead of 8. As I said I 
have been using Fedora 8 on my laptop for some time with no trouble at 
all. But then again, it's a Pentium Centrino not a Dual Core.

Any help?
