Thanks for all the help.

When installing, I passed noapic xdriver=mga to kernel.

Everything went well after that. Video card was detected correctly, install used X for collecting information and after booting all devices are working correctly.

I'm glad that the install went well when installing with those options at install time. I guess for the lack of proper video detection, running /sbin/lspci -n and submitting a bug report with that information should que the developers onto your computer's pci ID numbers so FC7 and above should recognize your video card automagically..

I submitted a report as advised for the sis lack of detection problem. As an example, here is the vague report that I submitted.

    I think I know why it installed XEN on my system. I selected all the
    options (from text based install) to install on my system.

    Well, if this is true, than what should I do to avoid XEN install.
    Should I take bare minimum and after system is up install rest of
    the packages or there is a sub option, which I can select to disable
    Visulization ?

        Hopefully you can get the GUI installation with either vesa or
        mga as
        the specification to xdriver= command. I had to supply sis as
        the driver on one of the computers which I installed FC6 on. The
        installer would crash if the parameter was not supplied.
        Admittadly, the crash was not as major as not even detecting a
        video card.

        Good luck on your second attempt.
