Thanks for all the help.
When installing, I passed noapic xdriver=mga to kernel.
Everything went well after that. Video card was detected correctly,
install used X for collecting information and after booting all devices
are working correctly.

I'm glad that the install went well when installing with those options
at install time. I guess for the lack of proper video detection, running
/sbin/lspci -n and submitting a bug report with that information should
que the developers onto your computer's pci ID numbers so FC7 and above
should recognize your video card automagically..
I submitted a report as advised for the sis lack of detection problem.
As an example, here is the vague report that I submitted.

I think I know why it installed XEN on my system. I selected all the
options (from text based install) to install on my system.
Well, if this is true, than what should I do to avoid XEN install.
Should I take bare minimum and after system is up install rest of
the packages or there is a sub option, which I can select to disable
Visulization ?

Hopefully you can get the GUI installation with either vesa or
mga as
the specification to xdriver= command. I had to supply sis as
the driver on one of the computers which I installed FC6 on. The
installer would crash if the parameter was not supplied.
Admittadly, the crash was not as major as not even detecting a
video card.
Good luck on your second attempt.
