Just wanted to report that fc7 64-bit is up and running now. I replaced the ASUS M2A-VM HDMI motherboard (with ATI SB600 south bridge) with an ASUS M2NPV-VM (NVIDIA nForce 430 south bridge), and the problem is gone. The two motherboards are very similar in features and price, just different chipsets.

Thanks again to everyone for your help.

I also have the ASUS M2NPV-VM, only because it is the smallest motherboard that can support 8GB of RAM..... but not because the SATA (MCP51) is well supported. And in fact, I am writing this becase only moments ago I got the NCQ for the SATA working. This is my VMWare development box with no less then 20 virtual machines in various states of snapshot/suspension/ or just off. I have never been able to run more the 6 at the same time, which is frustrating since some of my demos require 8 to be running.

So here is the stats of my system, it may help you with your work:

ASUS M2NPV-VM
ST3250820AS (NCQ)
MAXTOR STM3320620AS (NCQ)
8GB RAM
Fedora Core 6
Kernel: 2.6.22.1
Patches from here, in this order:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.22-rc6/2.6.22-rc6-mm1/broken-out/
  ata-add-the-sw-ncq-support-to-sata_nv-for-mcp51-mcp55-mcp61.patch
  ata-add-the-sw-ncq-support-to-sata_nv-for-mcp51-mcp55-mcp61-fix.patch

I then had to edit the initial ramdisk to add swncq=1 to the line that
loads the sata_nv module. (look in the cpio command to open and re-create
the initial ramdisk)

Ok, what else.... The kernel modules for the NVIDIA video driver
(100.14.11) works great out of the box.

For VMware, use the update at:
http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update113.tar.gz
I had v112 and it worked well, so I guess that v113 would do the same for you.
