    | Red Hat Enterprise 4, it works. Problem is that I need graphical
    | installation on FC4 to create logical volumes and RAID 1 partitions
    | (no logical volumes can be created under text installation). I tried
    | with noprobe and resolution=640x480, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

    If you are using an AGP video card, try a PCI card.

    I had problems with my Tyan Tiger-133 VIA motherboard and have
    actually found it may be a problem with the AGP interface.
    I'd love to have a good AGP card that works one day!
    I've tried Nvidia cards also with no luck.
    Newer AGP cards tend not to work at all with my motherboard.
