There's nothing wrong with doing a text install. In fact it works faster. To rule out the DVD try a network graphic install but I would thing it's a Xorg issue. Anyway, do the text install and I'm pretty sure it'll work. Before rebooting switch to another terminal and chose runlevel 5 to make sure it'll boot on a graphical user interface.

The GUI in anaconda works fine right up to the point where the "creating filesystem on /dev/sda1" window starts and Xorg starts using ~95% of the CPU.
DVD in constant use? Might be marginal DVD or reader.
The DVD isn't accessed at all, or the HDD, either, when the problem starts. We did a mediacheck, and have never had a problem with either the DVDs or the reader.
Options which have helped me at this point: xdriver=vesa video=vesafb:1024x768 vga=0x318
None is really the magic bullet which "always works," but I've used all of them over the past few years. On one machine the "video=" needed a frame rate specified, once I set that I got an image. That was some SiS video thing in a Shuttle.
The graphics appear fine. There's a perfectly rendered window with a progress bar going back and forth, forever. The problem seems to be that something in Xorg gets stuck in an infinite loop and doesn't let anything else happen, including the formatting which the window claims is being done.
