Yeah
the bugzilla report of the hard crash on initialisation of X during
install of the 64bit betas of RHEL6 on my dell e4200 were closed with
the status of feature request.
At the time i tested with fedora 12 / fedora 13 and the 32 bit beta
all of which were fine.

Maybe RHEL7 will be more polished "out the gate"
