This guy appears to have installed CentOS but then had some trouble with NIC configuration, which implies it'll at least install, though it doesn't state whether he's using SATA or PATA.

This post implies a BIOS update for the motherboard might help.

I have a machine with that board, while I could install and things "worked" the SATA interface was in safe mode where I was only getting <5 Mb/s on hdparm -Tt
If you can wait until Centos 5 is out, it may have better chipset support, personally I hacked in a FC6 kernel to get it up and running.

Hi,
how did you install centos using SATA drive? or you installed it first with PATA then install the SATA?

It installed okay, just the drives were really slow.
I may have found another solution to this though.
I was working with another VIA board this week and the solution was to set the SATA to legacy IDE in the bios (if possible) and then pass "all-generic-ide" to the kernel which allowed me to detect the drives properly.
