    Some more data:

    - I've learned that the GX280 has an Intel ICH6 based SATA chipset.
    (This supposedly implements ACHI.)
    - The same GX280 can install and run FC3 with no problems.
    - Setting the SATA mode to "Combination" from "Normal" in the BIOS had
    no effect.

    Still chugging away at it. Any help/tips much appreciated. Thanks!
