Fedora 6 post installation problems

Hi, I installed fedora core 6, now when i start, the screen goes blank and stays like that giving me no choice but reboot. This happens just a few seconds after that "Press I for interactive mode" message appears.

I'm sure its installed properly.
Mine is Intel 845G, P4 2.4Ghz, 256MB RAM, dual boot with Windoze XP as the other OS

What's the partition size allocated to /
And make one partition for swap or else your computer won't be able to handle with just 256mb of RAM.
Also, it's better to use ext3 for it' journalling support.

I forgot to mention, I have kept 512MB for swap, 7GB for / & 3GB for /home
I have formatted both as ext2.
