I saw the same thing with this in a laptop:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP
330M/340M/350M

I got this one if I chose to use DHCP for eth0, but not enable the
interface at boot time, did you do the same? My install continued when I
left both boxes checked in that dialog.

Other things I noticed:

- Couldn't find '/' in any of the scandinavian keyboard layouts (could
be me not knowing where to look though)

- Seems like some files are plain missing from rawhide. I installed the
FC5 versions of them and got up and running after a lot of manual trial
and error. The files are: libX11-* libXmu-* libXt-*

- gdk-pixbuf.loaders and pango.modules were empty, causing a lot of
problems. Programs having problems were
referencing /etc/pango/pango.modules, but the file was
in /etc/pango/$arch or something? Is that the right place for them? Same
for gdk-pixbuf.loaders
