My problem was the cd drive, so i used an external usb cd drive and Fedora 15 booted up correctly. The error "ata1:Softreset failed (device not ready)" is still reported (I can see it before Fedora loading screen) , and the internal cd drive is not recognized. Maybe it's obvious, but it can help some newbie.
