I would like to know whether my computer supports sata I or sata II.
does anyone know how to get this information? I guess i have to check

I checked in /proc/bus, but found nothing.

Do you want to know if your computer supports sata, or if you OS
supports sata? The linux kernel can support sata. You need to figure
out what motherboard you have, and see if it supports sata.

I'm running the kerner 2.6.24.5
this kernel supports sata for sure since my HD is a sata HD and runs well.
