you need a fairly new kernel for SATA, 2.4.21 iwth ac4 patches, I
think. If you have a large SATA drive (>130GB) you also need libata5
patches from Jeff Garzik. I have 2.4.21-ac and manually applied libata5
patch (and 250 GB Matrox on intel D865PERL motherboard)
Some of the newer kernels might work without ac or Jeff's patches,
hard to tell. Check the linux kernel mailing list archives (search for
SATA)
