[ale] install disk of Fedcore Core Test2

[jimmyc at speedfactory.net (Jim Philips)]

I burned all of my CD's, including a boot CD. When I try to boot from 
the CD, everything starts out okay. I select graphical install and it 
grinds a bit, then I get this:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
invalid compressed format (err=1)
VFS: Cannot open device "<NULL>" unknown block (8,3)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable  to mount root fs on unknown block (8,3)

I am having my doubts about this hard drive, but I hope that isn't the 
issue. Anyone have any ideas?
