The biggest problem ist the ATI card. There are no drivers that work with FC2 
and the video drivers from ATI and Nvida. So you can only use the 2d driver 
of X.org. Or you build you own kernel. The software raid function will not 
work for the ICH6-R. The best way is try to boot the first CD and look can 
you acess your Serial HDD. The SB is not a problem i have the same.
