This is obviously not so much an installer issues, but more a kernel issue.
Somewhere along the line the kernel changed in a way that is incompatible 
with your hardware, either the (upstream) kernel code or the kernel config.

Comparing the kernel configs of that FC8 kernel and the Debian 2.6.24 kernel 
could give us some clues then.
