I have a similar problem with a sata_promise on motherboard Asus P4C800 DeLuxe.
The system boots from a SATA disk with kernel 2.6.11_1.1369, but does not boot
with kernel 2.6.15_1.1831 and 2.6.15_1.1833.

During the boot, the following errors appeared:

...
sata_promise: Unknown symbol ata_qc_prep
sata_promise: Unknown symbol ata_pci_remove_one
sata_promise: Unknown symbol ata_device_add
sata_promise: Unknown symbol ata_port_start
insmod: error inserting '/lib/sata_promise.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
...

and booting stops after some other messages (it cannot mount /, etc.)

I think it can't even read /etc/modprobe.conf as it is on the SATA disk that is
not able to access.

I have finally been able to boot from sata harddisk with kernel
2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 by recreating initrd-*.img file with mkinitrd.
However, I don't really know why this works for me, as I've been looking through
the contents of both img files (the one in kernel rpm and the one built by me),
and they seem to have the same libs and other files

[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs]

FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to
release security related updates for the kernel.  As this bug is not security
related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated
to FC5.

Please retest with Fedora Core 5.

Thank you.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.

1. version 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 (x86_64) does NOT work
2. version 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 (x86_64) does NOT work either
3. vanilla 2.6.18.1 WORKS

1 & 2 loads sata-nv module BUT this module does not found any sata 
controller/drive!

so on K4N8-E does not boot nor FC5-x86_64 and FC6-x86_64.....

1. kernel 2849 does not work either
here you have boot log....
