even 2.4 will recognize SATA drives properly. 2.4.20 (?) in RHEL3 recognizes then as SCSI, but 2.4.26 recognizes them as IDE (which is better IMHO). > If 2.6 can natively support SATA drives (maski walang RAID), I can > always use it with Linux software RAID. That's my point, even 2.4.x can recognize SATA. So use them as-is, then do Linux software RAID on top.
