Fedora Core 4 & SATA: Installs fine, panics on reboot

[Fran Fabrizio]

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!
