I recently wrote a howto for something similar - Installing FC1 to the
SATA/RAID Controller on a VIA KT600/VT8237 Chipset.  See:
    http://fedoranews.org/contributors/mike_insch/sata/

You may be able to adapt this to do something similar on your chipset, by
making a driver disk which is used during the installation.  You may need
to do some clever jiggery-pokery to get things working, but it should be
possible to do things at install time.

Since you need to override the stock sd.o module, things may be a bit more
complex for you, but by using the terminal (CTRL+ALT+F2) during setup, you
may be able to remove the default sd.o from the running kernal, and
manually insmod your patched version.
