Need lots more info to debug this. To begin, what kind of machine is this ? what kind of hardware is in the machine ? What disk controller, what type of disks ? how many disks ? etc..
IBM Netvista with western digital 40 gb hard drive. 3com ethernet card and ibm cd-rom.
when you went through the install and it asked you questions about the bootloader, did you change or options, or go with the defaults ?

as it sounds like you're not even getting to the grub boot screen, all I can think of is that something bad happened at grub install time. Is there another OS on this disk ? what does the partitioning scheme look like ? When the installation gets to the end, instead of clicking finish (which would make it reboot), can you ctrl-alt-f3 and see if there are any warnings/errors there mentioning partitioning/grub ? Jeremy/Peter, any other post-install diagnostics you can think of which could figure this one out ?
2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you.
