To install / boot on any motherboard displaying these messages;
BIOS: legacy ide mode - not ahci
For EP45-DQ6 - turn off SATA/IDE option
Add 'all_generic_ide' to the kernel-line in Grub.
This has been known to work for Ubuntu, Fedora & CentOS - which oddly enough are the only distributions I've come across (up to this point) that have the 'ata softreset failed' problem.
