I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting SATA support up and
running in Linux. I dual boot XP and Linux RH9 and have bought a Maxtor
Raptor SATA drive I already have an old and clapped out Seagate. I
eventually would like to get a second Raptor and set up a striped RAID
array but for now I would just like to be able to get Linux to recognize
the drive and to either shift my drive image over to the new drive or
reinstall onto the Maxtor.
 
 XP sees the drive if I use the old drive to boot up but if I try to do a
 fresh install onto the SATA drive with the old IDE disconnected it will
 not recognise a drive at all. Linux will not detect the SATA drive at all
 no matter what I do.
 
 I understand I need to have some drivers at install time on floppy disk
 to do a fresh install?
 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Adam
