Unable to boot from live CD or install from DVD

[Vijayan]

Hello,
  I have been using Fedora (KDE spin) for quite some time. 
There was absolutely no problem till Fedora 14. But now when I try 
to install Fedora 15, the live CD does not boot. I have tried Gnome 
Live CD and also the DVD. I even tried the pre-upgrade procedure. 
All give the same result. The CD/DVD begins to boot, some text 
messages appear and finally the CD/DVD activity stops with the 
line [ 1.319497] [c040377e] kernel_thread_helper+0*6*0*10. 
My machine is Lenovo C 200 (Intel Atom D410 dual core 
processor). I am not a computer expert. But I am moderately 
familiar with Linux because I have been using it for more than 12 
years. How do I overcome this problem?

You can always try to add the acpi=off as kernel parameter.
(Any key to interupt automatic boot then Tab to edit option append 
acpi=off to the end then press enter to boot)
I would suggest you to read the
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_kernel_problems
especially the Crashes/Hangs section.
I hope it helps.
