I certainly don't see anything on bugzilla.redhat.com with that
information.

What does system see when you boot up and do lspci -vv for the
controller?

Are you in 'legacy mode' in BIOS or in full SATA mode?

Is this a RAID controller? Are you expecting hardware RAID on a system
that really is fake RAID and not true hardware RAID?

Are you using CentOS 4.4. disks (they [Red Hat] added more SATA
drivers)?
