There seems to be 2 onboard controller on that motherboard from what I can see on Supermicro's website. Which one are you trying to get to work? Or did you try both of them? I did have this problem myself when I got my first SATA drive and I wrote a small article on how to create a driver disk for Fedora Core 1 for my onboard Promise SATA controller. I believe Redhat ES3 is pretty close to FC1 so the article could still help you out.
