RE: new installation with IDE and SATA Raid

["Justin Davis" <jdavis15882 austin rr com>]

I have a VIA SATA controller.  I'm kind of new to linux and definitely not
knowledgeable about including things into the kernel, but even if the
drivers are in the kernel, will GRUB still be able to "see" the SATA drive?
I didn't think the kernel was loaded when GRUB is accessed to choose between
boot modes.

If it's a Silicon Image SATA controller, then include the Silicon Image
driver in the kernel when you build the kernel. If it's an Intel chipset
there is probably a similar option when building the kernel.

I have no idea if RH includes these in their build, but I sort of
suspect that they do not.

Good luck,
Mark
