Some more data:
- I've learned that the GX280 has an Intel ICH6 based SATA chipset.
(This supposedly implements ACHI.)
- The same GX280 can install and run FC3 with no problems.
- Setting the SATA mode to "Combination" from "Normal" in the BIOS had
no effect.
Still chugging away at it. Any help/tips much appreciated. Thanks!

I just installed FC4 on a new Dell Optiplex GX280. Install went fine
onto the drive, which is SATA. On reboot, kernel panicked, unable to
find any logical volumes. So, the installed kernel must not have SATA
support whereas the kernel that the installer CD boots must have.
What's the easiest way to fix this at this point? I've googled and
checked this list's archives, but everything I've found thus far
related to people who couldn't even install because Fedora's installer
could not even find the SATA drive. However, since my install went
fine, I appear to have a slightly different problem.
Thanks,
Fran
