I filed a tech support request with Intel and actually got
help that worked. Here's what I had to do:
1) Set SATA to AHCI mode in the BIOS
2) Boot the install disk with
linux all-generic-ide pci=nommconf
3) Build and install the most recent e1000 driver
from Intel's website -- the one included in FC5
apparently does not work with the ethernet chip
on this motherboard.
So far it looks like I have a stable system.
