Assuming you are already in stage#2 [1] of the install process, it may have failed to initialize X and offered text-mode instead. Can you confirm that is the case (if you have a shell on tty2 .. you are in stage#2)? Once confirmed, I would recommend repeating the test against RC3 when available. A similar issue was resolved for my test systems using xorg-x11-drv-nouveau. If the problem remains, please log this issue in bugzilla against the your X driver. There is a guide available [2] to help grab all the necessary data for the bug report. If you are able to, I would recommend completing the install in text-mode and debugging the issue from the installed system.

Perhaps just validate that you are booting a CD or DVD (and not the netinst.iso or boot.iso). Thanks, James
