Larry: I can't help you with your specifics, but I tried installing RHEL ES 4 on a machine whose SATA chipset (Intel's) wasn't supported on the initial Enterprise 4 release. I had to download the Update 2 ISO set before I could install. In my case though, the boot kernel wouldn't even SEE the drives for partitioning, so you've likely gotten past that. But I wonder if SATA chipsets are still an issue you're having. How current is your install media? Do you have a Fedora Core 4 set you could try for comparison?

I am using 2 SATA drives and a dual AMD 4200+ processor. The installation hangs after setting up the filesystems and setting the initial root password. I have gone through this twice now. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I be able to install with only SATA drives installed and no IDE drives installed?
