The only thing I can say about it it's that I've installed the RH9 distro into a Gigabyte 8INXP motherboard with an 120GB S-ATA HD too, but had no problems. That was about 2 or 3 months ago. The first kernel included on it was 2.4.20-8; booting up I could always see a line that said something about Serial ATA was OK..., recognized or so on... I've had another problems (I'm very very newbie in Linux), but nothing related with your comment. However, I couldn't install the SuSE Linux 8.2 and I wasn't able to understand why one distro YES and another NO if the kernels were the same or very very similar, and these two distros were built and launched about at the same time. Maybe SuSe forgot to include a SATA support module? It was disappointing, but I've aswell forgotten that point... I only can say you for check your BIOS settings, especially all those related with SATA or RAID issues. I hope someone can help better, Good luck.
