Fedora Core wont finsh booting up

Alright so I installed Fedora Core 4 on to my Dell Demenion XPS B733R. When I installed it i put the graphical version and turned it into a server. When it will boot up it will do a system check FAIL on the getting a IP adress (or somthing like that i forgat word for word). after the system check it will go into a black screen and it would be the end of it. I also tried Fedora Core 3 and 1 still same problem.
