Someone didn't read the notes very well,

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5Test1CommonProblems

NX (No Execute) capable processors (all AMD64 and 2nd and later steppings 
of EM64T) installing the i386 arch of FC5test1 may experience an inability 
to boot after install. Please try kernel parameter "mem=nopentium" in 
order to boot. At this moment we do not yet have a fixed kernel build. 
Watch this page for new information as it becomes available.

It was even mentioned in the announcement email
