I have seen quite a lot of bugzilla reports concerning graphical install as

some reports go back to F8 days and seem were never resolved even up to F10.

I have two machines (one with each of these chipsets) and need to
update
them to F10 using a clean install.
Use 'xdriver=vesa' in boot parameters or a text install. Follow
up with a workaround described in the referenced report.
On one machine (which has 82845G) the
graphical install failed as soon as the graphical part of the boot started
during an install attempt earlier today.
Most likely a display driver went into an infinite loop as detailed
in bugzilla.
