Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information especially concerning your hardware we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. If the anaconda crashes during the switching to the graphic mode, most likely the problem lies in Xorg support for your graphics chip. There are couple of options how we can obtain information necessary for resolving the issue. If the computer is not completely frozen when installation fails, switch to the console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and copy /tmp/X* and /var/log/anaconda.xlog to some other place -- USB stick, some other computer via network, somewhere on the Internet, and please attach it to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. If the computer is completely useless after installation fails, you can also install Fedora with a VESA mode driver (see http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/ for more information on that). Then after successful installation you can collect /var/log/anaconda.xlog, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the output of the program dmesg instead. Or you can install Fedora in a text mode completely, and then start X after that. If it fails, still /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of dmesg program from the failed attempt to start X would be useful. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thank you very much in advance.
Created attachment 492202 [details] /var/log/dmesg Attached as requested.
Forgot to say that dmesg was after startx and that Xorg.0.log was empty.
Remove nomodeset radeon.modeset=0 from your kernel boot line We don't support UMS. Also you would need a more recent kernel (updating your fedora should bring a recent enough kernel with support for your gpu)
Thanks a lot. It's a little slow but at least it's supported.

Yes.
