Are you aware of the problem outlined at bugzilla? If not, here is the link.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121819

Although not from experience, I believe it is not kernel related from 
what I have read. I haven't tried to MB switch, but maybe a simple hard 
drive switch might work. To me, it just isn't worth all that 
aggrevation. As you will read from bugzilla, there isn't a clear 
understanding of what the problem actually is related to, but some have 
tried different install methods. I believe that kernel 2.6.5 will work 
on these boards and I suggest the SATA (libata) patch. As it stands, I 
am not sure if 2.6 kernel uses this driver or not.
