Fedora 7 install hangs with 1st pata driver load

Hey all, running f7 on an older compaq desktop, just finished putting together a nice new PC with the following;
ASUS m/b (p5ld2) w/ intel 3.2 cedar mill
1gig ram
160 sata wd drive
Also 160gb IDE & HP DVD writer (IDE)
256mb nvidea, and other exciting things.

BIOS seems to see all devices, have sata settings set to [standard ide] and advanced set to enhanced mode. (have tried other ways), but that should be correct way.

F7DVD boot, I get the nice balloons, then install. After the initial start, the blue screen pops with;
LOADING SCSI DRIVER
Loading pata_it821x driver
and just hangs there.

Is there anything I can do at the boot level to disable, or change to make this boot correctly?

Thanks.
Lance

I don't know how to solve your problem, but it seems to be well known. When I googled for "Loading pata_it821x driver" there were many hits. The only suggestion I found was to boot with option acpi=off, but I don't see why that would help.
