Appreciate if some one could help me and advice
Obviously, it's having trouble identifying the card. Edit /etc/inittab so that you start up in runlevel 3 instead of 5. Besides, it's a server, why does it need to be running X?
Because when you're doing a typical server install, the installation process uses X (unless you've customized the install to default to text mode, in which case you already know that and are just trolling).
Neither. I'll ignore the fact that I, and the folks I work with, *always* use linux text (though pxeboot is starting up), and point out that once you've run the installation, you usually have more stuff to do: update everything from install source to current, dhcp, mail, etc.
