f10 on gigabyte

[glenn]

My friend is trying to install the Fedora 10, 64 bit, on a Gigabyte 
motherboard model GA-MA78GM-S2H.

The iso image checks out as valid by the loader scan test.  During the 
install the system accepts the English default and the US keyboard 
default.  After that the screen goes black and the only the cursor is 
visible.  The system does not pass beyond that point.

The CPU is AMD and video is the default video chip on the motherboard. 
The video chip is quite recent.

It has been assumed that if the video is not recognized that the system 
will default to VESA.

Does anyone have any experience with this Gigabyte board and Fedora 10, 
64 bit version?
