I can't help much other than to say that I'm running FC2 on an
essentially identical setup (Tyan S2882 board, 4GB RAM, dual Opteron
248 CPUs) but using a cheap parallel IDE drive (40GB WD400JB) and
everything works perfectly.
SATA support is a bit of a moving target. It is possible that the
current errata kernels support the controller while the boot kernels
(being a couple of months older) don't. If I were in your situation
and I had to get the machine running now, I would stick in a plain IDE
drive. You can always try to access the SATA controller after you've
installed and updated the kernel.
