I'm trying CentOS 4.4; I'll try reverting to factory BIOS and using promise_sata.

What version of centos are you trying to install ? I am sitting here in front of a A8V, and its working fine. I suggest you revert to factory defaults on the bios, enable the promise sata interface, try centos-4.4 ( btw, i run x86_64 on there, but that should not make a diff, the i386 should work fine as well )
