As for video card, you have VIA Chrome 9 integrated graphics card, and
you need to create xorg.conf using openchrome driver since most likely
either RHEL 6 is not able to get resolution from your monitor (a lot of
monitors do not follow standard), or you do not have openchrome driver
enabled. Look at /var/log/Xorg.o.log for clues. Also check "nomodeset"
option in kernel line in grub. Try enabling/disabling it (oposite of
what is now).
As for the NIC, MB spec says its Realtek RTL8201CL, but it looks like
(from google search) that in fact you have combination with VIA Rhine II
NIC. Also, saying "network does not work" does not explain your problem.
First run "lspci | grep Ethernet" to see what NIC is recognized, and
then look if NetworkManager service is runnig on boot, and what system
is reporting/recognizing/booting regarding NIC's. I read something, I
think on this mailing list, that if you do not set network at startup no
network will be started on the first boor. Or was it that Anaconda
network setup and NetworkManager are not interconnected. Look it up.
For USR modem 2976 look at this rpm:
ftp://ftp.usr.com/usr/dl15/LNUX_3ComMdm-1.0-1.i386.rpm and look in RHEL
5.5 to see what driver is used there and then try to track it down. You
can also check with "lspci" what is recognized.

Bryan,
Thank you for your interest, the system in question was running RHEL5.5,
so every comment is based on that machine, used as a test bed for rhel6b2.
Motherboard Asus A8v-vm; Processor -AMD Athlon 64 - Memory 2GB; on board
lan-Realtek; Modem - USR 2976pci fax/modem.
For me the system is very vanilla and again was running all the
functions before. Just as an interesting side issue, after not getting
solutions to any of the problems I attempted to re-load RHEL5.5 and find
that the hard drives won't re-format so the conversion back doesn't
work. And of course the ext4 file system isn't in rhel5.5.
I don' t use anything but AMD chips in our servers, only use Intel in
netbooks(not much choice) which run Fedora 11&12 fine. Also the network
setup in FC12 works fine or netbooks and notebooks, doesn't work in
rhel6b2! We have used KDE from before there were Enterprise Linux
distros, when we tried Gnome cut &paste didn't work and I personnaly
didn't like the look(still don't) anyway Kylix and Qt graphic interface
seemed to like KDE better and there have always been more features in
KDE that fit our methods. In RHEL5.x KDE menu operation and VNC make a
very impressive and reliable solution platform for our solution(50+
programs) and I am NOT changing our solution because Red Hat hasn't seen
fit to test or integrate KDE better. Also it would be nice if Red Hat
provided documentation that ran on KDE as well as Gnome, if they are
'compatible' solutions it should go straight across?
Again immediate problems -Network, if it doesn't work I can't attach to
the server and do a lot of testing.
-Modem, if I can't configure dial in remote support, I can't ship a
system that I can't support.
-KDE, if I start a vnc session from KDE I get a 'gnome' based menu to
work with, one of the thrills of 'gnome' is that it seems to be double
click driven, KDE allows selecting single or double click, gnome doesn't
seem to. When I accidentially double clicked a program, lo it does seem
to work under rhel6b2! So far that has been the only positive
experience I have had with rhel6b2. also under KDE the system only has a
800x600 screen resolution, on a flat pannel that is at least 1024x768
capable. I do believe that the majority of my real world problems are
KDE based with rhel6b2, although not recognizing the network or modem
are both show stoppers. Personal opinion, since gnome is the default
environment for Red Hat, Suse, Ubuntu... the fact that KDE is only a
tick behind in popularity shows that KDE is worth the extra effort to
bring up, so is if both were even, the more popular environment.
Anyway, I will step down off my KDE soapbox and thank you for showing
interest in the problems. I, unlike some of the other comments in this
batch am in no hurry for Red Hat to ship RHEL6, to me it isn't ready and
I think there is every reason to be cautious, also if you have read the
pre-realease guide, there are way to many 'TBA' solutions.
