nefkho, have a look in the bug tracker...I'm sure I see someone else try an installation with the exact same board.

Another thing you need to be aware of.  SME7 does not support SATA2.  You must make sure the jumpers on the drives are set to SATA1 or you may experience problems, log errors and data loss.
