Error Loading Operating System

I'm attempting to install Linux (Fedora Core 3) on a Dual Xeon Machine.

The installation goes smoothly, when it reboots to load the OS for the first time, it just comes up with a simple "Error Loading Operating System" error.

There are no other errors, no details. It just halts there.

I've installed 4 times now all give the same error.
Tried Auto Partitioning, Manual Partitioning, custom installations to simple personal installation.

There is no other operating system installed and the hard drive is new.

Help!

Hope this helps!
 
What drive hardware is being used? IDE/SCSI/SATA?
Any RAID hardware or software being used?
Any other operating systems or dual boot loaders being attempted?

Sorry I should of mentioned that.

I'm using SATA with no RAID setup. (Though it does have RAID controller built-in)

I'm not using any other operating system, just starting from a clean, new hard drive. (Western Digital 120GB SATA)
