AFAIK, the Palatino font option in the LyX font list (without
"use non-TeX fonts") corresponds to
\usepackage{mathptmx}
from the PSNFSS LaTeX standard package. This should work in all
non-corrupt LaTeX installations. It is an extended version of URW Palla*
with real small-caps and some basic math support.

TeX gyre Paladio is based on URW Pal* but incorporates this in its own font
file(s). I.e. installing this does not make URWs palladingsbums available
under this name.
OTOH, the font selection dialogue should not let you select a font that is
not installed on your system. Could you please try with a simple document
containing just ASCII? Maybe some non-ASCII letters are not supported
without LyX knowing.
