If you have any running version of linux, file a bug against 'kernel' in 
bugzilla, and then attach the output of 'dmesg' to that bug report immediately 
after you login to linux.  This will provide the necessary info about your 
hardware so that one of the kernel devs can look into why F9 cannot find your disks.

If you don't have any other distro/version running right now, then boot 
boot.iso, get it booted (to where the graphical anaconda windows start).  Then 
press ctrl-alt-F2, at this prompt you can mount a flash drive, and copy the 
output of 'dmesg' from there which should be helpful.  Even if you can get dmesg 
from another install, this would help to have a works/fails comparison.
