I just recently installed a G33 based board with centos-5 (x86_64). If the
board has an ich9r the sata part it easy (use ahci in bios). My install
hanged unless I passed acpi=off or pci=nommconf (the latter the real fix).
After install I had to build my own e1000 from the intel page to get the
onboard GigE to work and pci=nommconf is still needed (but does not cause any
negative side effects that I know of).
All this for an Intel DG33TL board.
Good luck,
Peter
