Fedora install hangs

I'm trying to install Fedora 4 on my PC and the install hangs at the same place each time. I downloaded and burned the 4 install CDs and when I boot to CD 1 I get the Fedora installer graphic and hit enter for a standard graphic install. It starts loading and when it get to "start_kernel" it hangs. Cursor stops flashing and it just sits there. Anyone have an idea as to what the problem may be?

Are you using a USB keyboard? If so try going into the BIOS to look for "Legacy USB Support" or something close to that. If you find it, toggle to the oposite setting and try installing again. That got it going on one of my systems.
