I use Redhat 9 and have the same motherboard. Unfortunately you could be
out of luck with the ICH5R.

So, you may have to locate a RedHat 9.0 distribution with a later
kernel. I have two SATA Western Digital raptors on the promise
controller. At least Promise has drivers for the original Redhat 9.0.
If interested, go here:

About the video card; are you saying you're getting no picture at all,
or only that redhat detected the wrong video card? If the latter, just
choose default VGA, and then download the latest nVidia drivers once
redhat is set up.
I have an MSI FX5900 Ultra in my PC with the nVidia drivers installed
for linux, so they will also work with your FX5200. I see nVidia have
the forceware version out. :-)

BTW, Asus has SoundMax drivers available for linux. I haven't tried
them yet.
