How do you have the sata devices defined in the BIOS?
Try changing it to IDE or something similar and then booting with
linux all-generic-ide
You can also try
linux noapic

Dear Troy,
Thanks for explaining the situation. Output of lspci is given
below. It is generated while the machine (ASUS M3N78-EM motherboard
with NVIDIA GeForce 8300 chipset) was on openSUSE 11.0. I also want
to intimate you that the SATA hard disks are detected by Fedora 10 as well.

Hi,
My first word of advice. Don't by Nvidia based chipsets. I've been
saying that for years, and until NVidia decides to actually start
working with the open source community ... correctly, I'm going to
continue to say it. Giving us binary drivers is not "working with the
community"
Now that I'm off my soapbox (or whatever the equivalent is where you
live), let's look at the problem.
Please send us the output of
/sbin/lspci
Also please note that SL is an enterprise OS, meaning that it takes a
while for newer drivers to make it into the release. OpenSuse, like
Fedora, is not an enterprise distribution, so it always has the latest
kernel, and hense, the latest drivers. And Debian 5.0 just barely
came out.
That being said, if you give us an 'lspci' we can at least look at it.

Dear Troy,
I have tested RC dated 11March. It is not able to recognise
hard disks on ASUS M3N78-EM motherboard for AMD processors.
Motherboard chipset is NVIDIA GeForce 8300. A Phemon processor and
8GB ECC DDR2 RAM are installed in the motherboard. However, the hard
disk is detected on openSUSE 11.0 and Debian 5.0 and installation is
successful for these operating systems. Kindly update the SL release
candidate accordingly
With regards,
J S Jayakumar.

Dear Troy,
As you know SL5.2 does not support many of the new mother
boards and other hardware. We are eagerly looking for the release
of SL 5.3 Can you pl. tell the probable date of release?
J S Jayakumar.
This is from the RC 2 release notes
...
The second release candidate for Scientific Linux 5.3 i386 has been
released for both i386 and x86_64 on March 02.
Release Candidate 2 has everything the way it should be, including yum
and updates going to their proper place. We will then let it sit for
almost two weeks as it get's it's final testing and pounding.
If all goes well, we will incorporate any changes and release Release
Candidate 2.5 somewhere around March 10 or 11. Release Candidate
2.5 is
essentially the release and will only be changed if something critical
or major happens.
...
I would expect it's final release between March 13 and March 20.
But you can always test before that. 5.3 Release Candidate 2 is what
is in 5rolling, and any changes between now and the release *should*
be fairly minor.
