It would appear from this, and other info in subsequent e-mails, that
you need to load the 'ata_piix' module. When the install stalls do
Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to another terminal and 'modprobe ata_piix'.
Apologies if you have already tried this.
I hadn't tried that particular module, but doesn't help :(
There is a possibility that the etch kernel is not new enough for this
MB, what kernel does fedora run on? If this is the case you may need a
custom installer, google is your friend here.
