p.s. I installed fc9 last week and Xorg crashes when PCI is not
enabled. just
in case someone has the same problem.
The Ubuntu PS3 team is also working on an a couple of bugs relating to
lack of PCI info. I don't know if these are the same issues you're
facing. We're tracking them here at [0] and [2].

We had an initial crash was simple to fix [1]. Now we need to get X to
automatically load the fbdev driver instead of vesa [2].
Fedora uses a newer Xorg (1.5.0 RC1) then Ubuntu. It seems that the 
detection/scanning code was changed. For me, it crashes right behind "using 
VT number 7", where a file in /sys/bus/pci is accessed (which of course does 
not exist), so its not related to the other mentioned bugs. I'm hesitating to 
file a fedora bug report, because the default kernel works. It's more a Xorg 
bug to assume everyone has PCI ...
