Totally depends on the chipsets, but my guess is a resounding "no". While it may be possible to get Linux up and running on that board, I don't think RedHat will pick up the SATA controller with the default kernel.

Search on www.google.com/linux on the different chipsets that are used on that board, and also search for the motherboard's name.

Back when I used RedHat I used customized bootdisks to get RedHat to install on the then-top-of-the-line Asus A7V (which uses a Promise 20265 controller not supported by the default kernel), so that might be a solution you could have a look at.

Also, good luck with the 6 channel audio, as I haven't seen that done yet.
