Me too -- I've found nothing on the Internet that helps. I suspect a
kernel configuration issue, possibly relating to video configuration.

I at one time had redhat 9 going, but I accidentally started the fedora
upgrade process on that VM and now it's hosed too. I think that altering
GRUB might work, but I don't know enough to get anywhere with that.

Did anyone ever solve this problem. Fedora Core 1 works on my
dual-boot 1.25Ghz G4 under 10.2.8 but Fedora Core 2 - no way.

Yes, I got FC2 working. See my post on 12/15/04, subject 'VPC Mac
Fedora Core 3 install?'

I also now have FC3 working. It was significantly more hassle because
FC3 does not include the option to install the kernel source. I plan to
post details shortly.
