This chip is not currently supported by Fedora Core. You would basically
have to merge a patch, rebuild the kernel rpms, then rebuild the distro.
It is easier than it sounds, but I am not sure on the current stability of
that driver, when libata was last merged, it was broken on a large
percentage of systems.

SuSE has this stuff working reasonably, at least with the Adaptec
1210SA thing that I got stuck with (Sil3112). You need their Patch CD
which came out about a week ago to boot up and install. [Still
considering whether I should just stick with SuSE or wait for Fedora
to catch up.]

NB: I'm on the digestified version of the list.
