Had the same issue with Fedora Core 1.  The way we overcame the issue was to use a 3Ware SATA controller.  The 3Ware card was detected as a SCSI controller and the drives work perfectly.  If that is not an option, you may want to check if the BIOS will let you run the SATA drives in legacy mode which will emulate IDE.

I have a SuperMicro 5013C-MT with the P4SCT+ motherboard and am having

with all Linux distributions  (Debian, Gentoo, Redhat ES3 and

cannot install.

I've ran a google check and it seems the onboard controller is completely
unsupported by Linux and there are proprietary binary drivers with a
classic catch 22 scenario where they require a working installation to set
up while the installation depends on them.

Anyone offer any insight, too late tonight for me to get any support
from SuperMicro, thought I would give the listserv's a try.

If anyone can offer a solution here that gets me past this roadblock,
I'd gladly offer a $50 bounty payable via Paypal.

Thanks,
