+1 Mine is a 6420. Boot is on pata
00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
....but I have a sata storage drive that prevents boot.
00:0f.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA VT6420
SATA RAID Controller (rev 80)
2.6.20-1.2925.fc7 boots with no problems
2936 fixed my sata issues. Thanks!
