This is a hardware problem not related to Fedora. Are the DIMMs
identical? Are they approved by the motherboard manufacturer?
Have you tried different memory sockets on the motherboard? How
about changing the memory timing in BIOS setup?

One module works. Two does not. The motherboard requires identical,
i.e. timing, memory modules.

Easy to verify. Go to the manufacturer's website and download the Users Manual.

Since this may be a memory problem and I WAS able to get the operating system installed only after removing 2 of my 4 DIMMs I returned the memory voltage and the SPP voltage to the auto values and first removed one set of DDR2 memory and then the other, cycling both 4 Gig sets through first slots zero & one and then slots two & three. ...
