Some more data:
- I've learned that the GX280 has an Intel ICH6 based SATA chipset.
(This supposedly implements ACHI.)
- The same GX280 can install and run FC3 with no problems.
- Setting the SATA mode to "Combination" from "Normal" in the BIOS had
no effect.
Still chugging away at it. Any help/tips much appreciated. Thanks!
