I think I've got this figured out. I did a quick search on Google and I found this thread: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33831753
It looks like your BIOS is giving Linux bad information, and it messes stuff up. I've never personally experienced this though. People say this fixes their problems, so I'd give it a go.

I saw this on the rage forum as well but I don't think this is what is causing the problem in this
case. I was getting the exact same error messages trying to install the latest ATI driver on fc4.
I managed to get it to work without doing any of the highly technical hacks they advise.
You may consider trying this before resorting to trying adding stuff to you rc.5 folder again.
(each folder represents a list of process that should be started for each run level. Run level 3 is the standard
command line only run level run level 5 the standard x windows run level etc.) So you were correct to
add stuff to the rc.5 folder but may have had a mistake in your script or didn't add the sym link properly.
Try removing the driver with
[CODE ]rpm -e rpmname [/CODE]
where rpmname is the name of the rpm file you installed
then try installing as per the instructions on the fedora faq
http://www.fedorafaq.org/
{instructions from faq}
If this doesn't work let me know I'll try to help you do the rage forum hack as I have a fc4 machine
and can test it on that and advise you where to put stuff
