I haven't tried installing on a system without having at least 1 /boot partition and have pretty much ignored SATA, especially on those mini-RAID controllers...the installed i386 and x86_64 kernels have identical filenames so trying to install into a single /boot is problematic. Perhaps the bad mojo is coming from the combination of x86_64, no /boot, SATA and the sata_sil driver. IIRC, the last FC2T3 kernel was the same a the original FC2 kernel so that can't be the problem...perhaps sata_sil does differ though. KAS
