  Hi!
  I tried 8.0-current June snapshot CD with GigaByte GA-MA790FX-DQ6, and found 
that it cannot find any disk and failed to install while 7.2-release can find 
disk and has no problem to install.

  What is the cause of this? and any fixes?

Following is the dmesg with 7.2-release;

Well, dmesg from current would be definitely more helpful, but I assume that it's hard to get it without hard disk ;) Are you sure that only disks weren't recognized, or maybe AHCI controller? Search for these lines in dmesg:
atapci1: [ITHREAD]
atapci1: AHCI Version 01.00 controller with 2 ports detected
ata4: <ATA channel 0> on atapci1
ata4: [ITHREAD]
ata5: <ATA channel 1> on atapci1
ata5: [ITHREAD]
atapci2: <ATI AHCI controller> port 
0xff00-0xff07,0xfe00-0xfe03,0xfd00-0xfd07,0xfc00-0xfc03,0xfb00-0xfb0f mem 
0xfe02f000-0xfe02f3ff irq 22 at device 18.0 on pci0
atapci2: [ITHREAD]
atapci2: AHCI Version 01.10 controller with 4 ports detected
ata6: <ATA channel 0> on atapci2
ata6: [ITHREAD]
ata7: <ATA channel 1> on atapci2
ata7: [ITHREAD]
ata8: <ATA channel 2> on atapci2
ata8: [ITHREAD]
ata9: <ATA channel 3> on atapci2
ata9: [ITHREAD]
Additionaly, check for some error messages and uknown devices in the log. Another thing to try is changing operating mode of the controller (in BIOS) - you should find at least 2 modes - AHCI and NATIVE IDE, possibly RAID na LEGACY IDE. Good luck!
