I have a brand new ASUS MB model M2N-MX which is giving me issues when

I initially had problems with finding the SATA drives but I resolved
that issue by simply selecting the NVIDIA SATA (sata_nv)driver from the
list of drivers during the initial install.
The install seemed to go fine after that as the installer uses the
Generic VESA video driver during the install, however, upon the restart
after the install, the server then completely locks up. I can only
assume it is at the point of loading the video driver although I really
don't know what CentOS loads after the "acivating local loopback"
section, because that is where it freezes on the screen.
I have a motherboard that is not very different (probably not 100%
identical either) and CentOS works fine. It's Fedora 6 that's causing
SATA issues on that mobo.

There's something wrong with SATA on these new motherboards. Or maybe
they are too new and the SATA support in the kernel is lagging.
