It didn't work for me on my Asus K8V Deluxe, but I'm not sure if it is 
the Via or Promise chipset (and I don't have it handy to check).  I had 
to install a UDMA drive alongside the SATA until I got it booted up and 
installed.  A kernel upgrade to the latest errata brought SATA to life, 
and so I moved everything over to it after install, but I haven't booted 
from it yet.  Someone else has reported they rebuilt the BOOT kernel for 
the installer...maybe they have some advice on making that go.
