for better results post in open source section.
reg ur query it seems 965 got Jmicron PATA/IDE controllers which are not enabled in fedora kernel .due to u having a PATA drive which uses Jmicron.u can try installing on a sata partition after removing the pata drive u have to finish install on sata.

ur best bet will be to get sabayon 3.4 or someother new distros with latest kernel or wait for Ubuntu gutsy gibbon.
