Hi all, I have same problem, booting with 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3smp on Dell
SC1425 with SATA /dev/sda yields:
ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_port_start
insmod: error inserting '/lib/ata_piix.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
and loader subsequently oopses after it fails to mount root.
modprobe.conf does indeed contain:
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
No issues booting from the stock FC3 kernel:
SCSI subsystem initialized
libata version 1.02 loaded.
ata_piix version 1.02

I'd be happy to use the old kernel if there was a way to revert the
kernel-dependent stuff installed by yum (hald, irqbalance), any ideas?
