Hello,
    I'm running an Adaptec 2410SA controller on a Via EPIA-M mini-itx 
board, with FC3.  Everything runs very perfectly on the original 
kernel.  When I upgraded to the latest kernel, it began locking up on me 
every two days.  I thought it was cpuspeed, because disabling that 
temporarily fixed the problem, but eventually I had to go back to the 
original kernel from the FC3 install.
   Unfortunately, I can't give you any advice with either of the 
motherboards you are using, but I do know that the 2410SA is stable and 
working on FC3 with the kernel and hardware I am using now.

regards,
Randy
