I have a system with an on-board VIA SATA. 2.6.0test5 and beyond have
good support for this chipset, and by manually patching a rawhide 2.4.22
kernel using this thread as reference --
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg202339.html -- I got the SATA
running on 2.4.x. The author of libata told me that kernels > 2.4.22
support this chipset. Anyhow, as told by others -- no easy to way to do
a clean-install on this kind of drive -- install on a regular IDE and DD
everything to the SATA if you want it to be your main.
