Problems with serial ata

[Rio Baan]

I have an ASUS P4G8X-Deluxe motherboard (the Pentium model), and I have 
similar Silicon Image SATA RAID problems. I think this issue is listed in 
Bugzilla.
The BIOS version I have is 1006, and I think it's the latest (have to double 
check that).
Once HDs get connected to the SATA RAID plugs, on first boot, the install 
doesn't get past the grey Fedora PC screen... it just locks up.

Not sure if the bug has been fixed in the latest kernel versions.... but 
we'll see when test2 comes out I guess.
