The item that appears to be the bug is that Anaconda comes up with it's graphical install fine, but after reboot the system is unable to start the x server.  Believe it may have to do with the funky onboard via graphics setup on this mobo.

Have you tried booting your system with the rescue CD?  If you have the 
CD and it will boot the system, you could then edit /etc/inittab on your 
harddrive to provide for booting into a console window

/etc/inittab
 id:3:initdefault

Then working from cli you might be able to  run system-config-display 
and configure to something that will allow use of the X window system.
