The kernel in the Fedora Core 3 install CD is 2.6.9-1.667 and if it can't find your controller you need the SATA driver for Fedora Core

sp00ky: FC3 installed for me without any problems on two systems with Asus A7V880 motherboards. If you have 2 SATA drives set up as a RAID, FC3 cannot use them properly.
