Yes, I know someone last week asked a similar question (Problem with ASUS P5VD2-X X SATA II) but the only answer I saw on that thread was the equivalent of "I've heard it's bad so I won't do it." Unfortunately, that doesn't help me much.
Before the graphical installation routine, it tells me that it can't find a hard drive and gives me the opportunity to choose an interface manually. I either choose the one given (VT86c100A Rhine-II PCI (via-rhine)) or the only other VIA option from the list (I don't have the machine in front of me now, so I don't know specifically). Either way, it goes into the graphical install, I choose languages and type of installation, and that I want to manually partition the drives. I'm then told that there are no hard drives, and it kicks me out of the install.
From what little I can find via the web, it looks like no-one can get
this to work and I may need to buy a separate SATA controller (or two new hard drives for PATA).
