In my problems with installing Fedora Core 4 on my laptop because of a kernel panic and installation boot-up I researched http://www.fedoraforum.org/ and the suggestions to me was reporting a bug.I then went to the bugzilla and wanted to create a bug when I found one exactly explaining my problem about the kernel panic screen right after trying to boot the installation.
I registrered at bugzilla and commented on the bug and almost instantly I got a mail from a debugger at bugzilla telling me it's a dublicate of other bug which I obviously couldn't find by searching. He gave me the link to the bug and I read it imediately.

I came to the where someone writes:

Works !This is the WEIRDEST thing I've ever seen ina Linux install !

Still, explonation appreciate here for me too

Well this is weird because he's referring to a guy that try to boot the installation with a wrong kernel (say: somewrongkernel ) and then it reported

Could not find kernel image: somewrongkernel

And then he just pressed again to boot the default kernel (eg. linux). AND IT WORKED for me also!!!
I tried to boot my Fedora Core 4 DVD and at the first initial boot options I wrote the following:

boot: kevin
Could not find kernel image: kevin
boot:
Loading ..... etc.

And now I actually write this on my Fedora Core 4 installation - Happy me.

If you've got a Intel 915GM Chipset and can't boot the Fedora Core 4 installation - try the above and you can see more information here.
