I'm having the same problem.  I've got a laptop (HP Compaq nc8430 with
2GB of RAM, SATA hard drive) and I'm getting the same error.  It's an
Intel Core 2 cpu, but I'm running Fedora 7, i386.  I'm not using
x86_64.  Likewise, my Fedora 8 DVD is also i386.

This is an Acer Travelmate 6410 with SATA hard drive and DVD drive.

Now, if I don't let Anaconda test the media, then I get very different
results.  I just get a blue screen that says "Welcome to Fedora for
i386", the footer line about Tab, Space, and F12, but nothing else.
It just sits there.  I've let it sit for 30 minutes with no activity.
On "Alt-F3" again, my last line is:

Thats interesting.. on my system it doesn't matter whether I test the media or not, it still breaks in exactly the same way.

Anyone else having this?  Anyone else have ideas on how to fix this?

I successfully upgraded in text mode, which seemed to work without problems.
