Thanks a lot to James Wilkinson and Karsten Wade for your suggestions.
Well, I have a lot of problems trying to install Fedora in that old PC100 (PCChips) XCell mobo with Sis chipset but at least the Fedora 10 installation DVD now does recognize the harddrive. I'll try this media, if not success, I'll try the netinst cd version of Fedora 10 instead. Later I'll tell you how is going the thing. C'ya!

Ouch! The memory will be a bit limited, and the processor a bit slow,
but that looks like it’s a SiS chipset on a PCChips motherboard. I had a
lot of problems with those.

You may find http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9157 a more
useful link. Fedora (from 7 onwards, I believe) uses the new libata
set
of drivers exclusively.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems may also be worth
reviewing for its treatment of kernel and module parameters.
I believe Fedora 10 has a lot of ATA drivers built-in, but it doesn’t
look like ata_generic is. It looks like on Fedora 10, you can append
ata_generic.all_generic_ide=1
to the kernel boot line, and you’ll be more likely to detect the disk.
Do you need a more detailed walkthrough of where to set those
parameters? You’ll need to do it when booting the install media, and
then make sure grub picks it up – you might find it easier, to begin
with, simply to edit the grub command line each time you boot.
Hope this helps,
James.
