sounds like the SATA interface on the motherboard is not supported by 
centos-4.2, you might want to try the 4.3 installer ?

also, if you have another distro installed, can you let us know what the 
output from 'lspci -n' and 'lspci -v' is ? it might be possible to try 
and find drivers for this interface. ( could you post this info on 
http://bugs.centos.org and let us know here a url for the bug id, rather 
than posting all that info here )
