does sound like you have hardware problems.
have you tried f10 live cd?
if it works, that is, you boot to a desktop and all is well, install it to hard drive and run your updates.
i do suggest that before you run updates, install only yumex and yum-utilities first.
them go thru what was loaded from cd and remove what you do not want on your system.
I had problems with an f10 install due to video card and was able to use live cd and get a now working system.
================
hardware problem? maybe so but I did install centos5.3 on this same cptr, no trouble at all. So if hardware, something conflicting with f10 not centos.
the video card seems to be recognized
yes, I have tried f10livecd and it does come up in desktop. But, trying the livecd install I have very similar failure as I did from dvd.
fwiw here is "mga" lines from firstboot.X from my dvd failure
---- you need to recognize that the versions of xorg in Fedora 10 are very different than the one in CentOS 5
what you posted isn't sufficient for anyone to help you troubleshoot but you probably should be putting it all in bugzilla
Though I would suspect that at this moment, most of the developers attentions are on the F11 release.
