I've never heard of the sis90 driver. Does FC3 release have this problem? Are you sure you're not loading proprietary vendor drivers?
Well, this is a kernel bug wich have fixxed in 2.6.9 and later versions. Yet, the RPM kernel that comes with the dist. (FC3) doesn't support the the SATA very well (or at least the sutup partition utlity doesn't know to work with the hard disks) and needs to be updated manualy to the official 2.6.10 kernel
