If you mean it isn't about someone being unable to boot the F16 DVD
from a hard drive on a P4 system, you are right.  But it is certainly
suggestive that kernels after 3.0 fail to boot on some P4 systems, and
the F16 DVD comes with a kernel after 3.0.  The 2.6.39 series were the
development branch for the 3.0 kernel releases.

The bugzilla suggested that boot problem for Pentium 4s was fixed
after the 3.2.8 series Fedora kernel.  I think F17 will have a 3.3 or
later series kernel, so the fix will be incorporated.  You could wait
until F17 is out, and install it instead of F16.

Or, if you can somehow get the latest F16 kernel and use it to boot the
F16 DVD ISO instead of the one that came on the DVD, it might work
for you since it will not have the problem described in that bugzilla.

Maybe open a new bugzilla for your problem, and get help from an expert
(which I am not).
