As I wrote at the time, this allows you to make sure it's not hardware
related. There may be a problem with the newest kernel combined with
your graphics driver. (ATI?) Fedora generally keeps several kernels;
do any of them work with Gnome3 now?
In case I wasn't clear earlier,
the minimal CD did not allow me to install a system.
Perhaps this will be helpful:

My only thought is that you may have the wrong DVD, since I just did an
install on a laptop with a decade-old Pentium-M CPU. I worked, I can't
complain, I believe the video driver even produced an image under
GNOME3, although I went with LXDE instead so I can easily put stuff I
use all the time on the tool bar.
Another thing you might try is the "Live-CD" install if the object is
just to get it working. Without firing up another system I can't
remember if the P4 has PAE or not, do know that about yours before
trying the install.
Remember, a large part of trouble-shooting is going down one blind
alley after another until one of them isn't.
