I'd try a couple of things.

First, is the BIOS on that motherboard current?  I have had problems 
before with devices not being recognized that were fixed when I updated 
to the latest BIOS.

Second, I have a vague memory of reading some kind of problem with 
Seagate SATA drives.  You might try googling a bit to see if anything 
comes up. I'd try installing from CentOS 4.3, as that will have the most 
current versions of drivers & software.
