Are you sure you have all the right modules in your initrd?
I don't have the same motherboard as you do, but am able to boot with / on sata_nv
(raid).
I'm pretty sure I do and that it's not the problem, because :
- The FC5 installation loads sata_nv and sata_sil but doesn't "see"
anything even once they're loaded.
- Adding the same modules to the FC3 kernel's initrd makes things work.
