Just to save people the hassle of using old IDE drives, here's the way I got SATA to work unmodified:
Enter BIOS: Set the SATA controller to NON-RAID
When the install CD is booting, specify:
linux install all-generic-ide
The 'all-generic-ide' portion is the winner. Basically the kernel sees the PATA device controller, but it doesn't recognize it. By adding the extra kernel option, the kernel forcefully makes the SATA controller a generic PATA device. It should properly find any SATA hard-drives you may have plugged in.
PS: Having no end of troubles with FC6T3-x86_64. I'm reverting to 32bit in the hope that it'll fix my woes...
