The first one is allocation error (linuxrc wants to get/read memory, but the allocation fails?). The other errors are _maybe_ caused by the first error (the scheduler schedules while a atomic operation is in progress). Is your Kernel configuration different to the configuration of the Fedora Kernel? If so: What did you change? It's strange that you can't change you Bios settings. Is the write protection jumper set to 1 (TRUE/ENABLED)? Is your Bios up2date?
