These appear to be machine specific, and need a fix from the machine
provider.  Not sure if this is something we can fix in Fedora space.

This then begs the question why do the FC2, FC3, and FC4 installation
media boot and install on the same machine without incident? What's
different about the FC5 installation image kernel and can it be fixed?
Syslinux changes seem to affect some specific hardware everytime. Its hard to figure out this without the relevant hardware which is not there internally. Changing syslinux late in the release cycle might create problems like the infamous one in which FC4 wouldnt bootup on some Intel chipsets, without feeding in garbage at the bootup prompt, which again wasnt there in our labs (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159026). Not sure there are easy resolutions to such issues.
