Does booting with 'linux allowcddma' help?
I am experiencing exactly the same problem. I have a S3 968 powered Diamond Stealth 64 with 4Mb of VRAM. I tried booutting with 'linux allowcddma', but the problem persists. The X server seems to come up but is immediately sht down with the following error message: Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait... Probing for video card: S3 968 (generic) Probong for monitor type: Unknown monitor Probing for mouse type: Generic - 3 Button Mouse (USB) Attempting to start native X server Waiting for X server to start...log located in /tmp/X.log 1...2...3...4...5....

The issue probably lies with the driver for S3 968 based video cards. I would really apreciate if someone could tell me how to get around this problem. Thanks!

I'm using a TNT2 video card, same thing.
I´ve experinced the same difficulty, but a text installation ('linux text' in the boot) was enough to solve the problem. Anaconda managed to install fedore with no further problem in the text installation.

i've the same problem, but i tried with the version 3 and i386 hardware.
Jeremy Katz - Did you try to change video card ? After you finish install, you could change to first video card. Sometimes I install with text interface (use F2 to choose sub-packages). I always install servers without graphical intercace, but you can choose them in text mode, after install, should works fine. Once works with "linux lowres" at initial option.
