Asus M2N-SLI and /dev/mapper issues with Anaconda

[Florin Andrei]

New system:
AMD Athlon 64 X2
Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
2 x 320GB SATA

I am trying to install FC6 i386 (I may try to switch to 64 bit later).

The problem is, when I get to partitioning, the only "hard drive" seen 
by the installer is /dev/mapper/mpath0

I tried to tweak various SATA and RAID settings in the BIOS (RAID is 
supposedly disabled, I don't need RAID, I just need 2 separate disks), 
it didn't help.
Based on discussions I've seen on the Internet, I tried booting the 
installer with "linux nodmraid" but it didn't help.

What can I do to make both SATA drives visible in the installer?

What's strange is that FC6 seems to be the only thing failing on that 
motherboard. I tried Ubuntu, Knoppix and CentOS and had no problems.
