I have an ASUS P4G8X-Deluxe using the Silicon image on-board SATA RAID. On install, the two raid drives are detected as hde and hdg (why no hdf?!?) and since the contents are in NTFS, obviously the installer can't read them. Instead anaconda instructs me to WIPE them out removing ALL DATA! It's not really a bug, but an installer threatening to kill my large RAID for no apparent reason is a bit scary.
Linux does not support winraid arrays, such as what your SATA system is providing. Just straight sata access to single disks. If you want sata raid, go get a hardware card from LSI (more than 2 ports) or 3ware.
Also, any idea why FC2 is giving me two kernels? I don't have a twin CPU machine (I recently put a a 533Mhz P4 3.06Ghz into my box) so now I can't see why I am getting an SMP kernel as an added bonus.
Your CPU supports "HyperThreading" which is a second set of processing gates on the physical processor. Thus it appears to the OS as a multiprocessor system. Boot the smp kernel, and cat /proc/cpuinfo
