There is a known bug in FC2 that effects ASUS and VIA motherboards. I had a very similar experience on an ASUS p4p800 deluxe Motherboard. I guess the redhat 2.6 kernel has some mods in it that make it not work with these boards. I had to download a different disc1 iso that had a fix on it. Here is a link to the bug read down towards the bottom are the steps to fix it. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121819 Hope that helps..
