I did that. Whatever the problem is, it's
in the Fedora 15 Live CD, then. But the
Fedora 17 and 18 match Fedora 15 as far as
file systems go. But we never get that far
anyway in an installation. It won't boot.

But the same file system is in 15 and it installs
fresh fine. So... that is what is puzzling me.

The error message is telling you there's a problem with the system disk.
It doesn't know at this stage whether it's a hardware or software problem
and is suggesting use rescue mode at boot. That should be a choice
in the grub selection screen that pops up first during boot.

I'm not clear from your description when this is happening, while
trying to 1) boot the Live CD installer, or 2) after install when the system
reboots on the hard-disk. If 1 then you have a corrupt CD.
If 2 then you should try a reinstall, formatting the disk as
part of the partition setup. If you've already done this, then sorry,
I'm lost with your particular hardware.

My attempts at using rescue mode usually end in tears because
most distros will not accept that I'm running triple boot, Windows,
MacOS and *nix.
