Hi,
I own a neat little AMD64 Shuttle SN85G4 (V1) which works
great with FC3,
so I recommended buying the same to my dad. He bought the
same, but it's V3
now, which apparently features a newer nForce3 250 chipset,
and possibly
some other minor changes.
I only had an i386 FC3 install DVD handy when he got it, and
with only a
modem connection, it really was my only option, so I installed that...
things went fine (except the Radeon 9200 through the DVI output, the
display went all black all the time after a few seconds, VGA
works fine
though).
My problem here is that it installed flawlessly on the Serial-ATA hard
drive attached to that nForce3 250 chipset (sata_nv module), but the
machine was never able to boot from the installed system.
Sounds a lot like:

Is the serial ata drive by any chance a Seagate? If so, you may want to try
this kernel:
http://www.wtamu.edu/~mlauterbach/kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3_SATA.root.i686.rpm
All that is changed in this kernel is a line or two commented out. I have
yet to get around to making and verifying that this will fix the x86_64
version of FC3 yet. x86_64 and i386 versions of FC3 both behaved exactly
the same for me.
