FC4 graphical installation problem

Hello, all

I'm having problems installing FC4 on an Intel 7221BK1-E motherboard. If 
I try to install from the FC4 CD, it panics immediately after loading 
vmlinuz and init, so I used the "trick" from http://www.ulkuderner.net 
that involves using another CD until it asks for "where to load", and 
then switching to FC4 CD. Only problem is that video is recognized as 
VESA generic, and the xserver does not work (it starts correctly, but no 
video is shown). If I use 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?
