SATA is supported on Linux 2.6 and 2.4.26.
The ICH5R isn't true hardware raid (software-based, proprietary). Even
as a SATA controller it won't even let you take advantage of the better
things about SATA - like being hotpluggable as the ICH5R doesn't
implement some of these functionality. If you're looking for hardware
SATA RAID you're better off with 3ware Escalade cards or other SATA RAID
controllers (check Jeffrey Garzik's nice status pages on libata in
Linux). Better yet, use the faster Linux software raid.

Well, I don't have that server model, although I do have an ASUS PC-DL
deluxe board which uses almost the same chip (ICH5-R for SATA-RAID).
