Can one ever be patient enough :-) But I had lunch, walked the dog and left it sitting there for several hours. Took a few minutes to get to 3/4 or the bar, and then it sat there for hours.
Oh my! You have been too patient! (I guess it's the dog.) Have you looked into the consoles 2 to 8, to see if it's really frozen? Gee, I suppose RHEL6 will be worse than Vista!

Might be worth posting on the anaconda-devel list.... or filing a bug with CentOS.
Or... does the same thing happen if you try with a RHEL5 install? If so, you could definitely open a bug report with them to get it looked at.
Would be interesting though to see if your machine is locked up. Try jumping over to the shell console (ALT-F2) and see if you can still interact, get a process list etc. Run dmesg, and look at the other consoles' outputs to see if anything can give you some info on where exactly it's hanging.

I decided to run the text mode installer and that worked fine. And it even installed gnome so I just had to modify /etc/inittab

Only if they try real hard...

While the system has nothing customized on it yet, would there be value in trying something to understand why it broke before with the graphical installer? Could it be something tried to use the memory in use by my on-board video?

Some recent threads address memory requirements for 5.0 installs. Graphical takes more than text.
Could this have bitten you?

Unlikely. I have 2 GB installed. The 1280 x 1024 onboard should not take that much off.
