Hi - I installed SL4.4 i386 on a new box here.  The hardware is fairly 
new and
required some tweaking to get up and running, so I figured I post the 
info in case
someone runs into similar problems.  The system has an Intel DP965LT MB 
with
on-board Gigabit ethernet and sound (Sigmatel 6-channel AC97 audio).  SL 
(and by extension
RHEL) does not recognize the on-board Marvell IDE controller, so you 
need to start the
install 'all_generic_ide=1'  to install off the cd/dvd (and add it to 
the kernel line
in grub.conf if you subsequently want to use the cd! :).  The on-board 
network also
does not work with the stock e1000 driver, so you need to use a newer 
version. 
I used e1000-7.1.9 and it works fine - I assume later releases will also 
work and that
it should eventually make it up-stream.  The sound also does not work; I 
used a
patched alsa rpm from the vendor (ASLAB.com) and the onboard sound now 
also works. 
lspci:
IDE interface: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.: Unknown device 6101 (rev b1)
Audio device: Intel Corp. 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection 
(rev 02)
