The issue as I see it is that the installer installs the
i586 kernel
instead of the i686 kernel.  Here's how I fixed it.

1. Download the RPM for the i686 version of the kernel:
wget http://mirrors.kern
el.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-1.279
8.fc6.i686.rpm

2. As root, install the kernel.  You'll need to force it
because the
pre-existing kernel conflicts:
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm --force

Hope this helps.  If it does, could you file a bug for me?
