It's not possible with Fedora Core 1, as the 2.4 kernels don't recognise the SATA controller. If someone made a driver disk with the required modules (via_sata.o) compiled against the install kernel, it could work, but I haven't found nor heard of such a thing. If Fedora Core Development is in a currently installable state, you can maybe trying to go 2.6 with it directly instead... but expect quirks and trouble even it the best case. The last solution, what I'll be trying this evening, is to install on a regular IDE hard drive attached to the ATA133 controller, install a 2.6 kernel and copy the system over to the SATA disk, reinstalling grub in the mbr and updating the initrd to include the via_sata module if needed.
