You'll have trouble installing Red Hat Linux because, out of the box,
they don't have ATA controller drivers.  You should visit the website of
whoever makes your ATA controller and see if they have a driver disk for
Red Hat Linux.  Also be aware that both 8.0 and 9 are dead (as in "end
of life").  Red Hat doesn't support them any longer.

You may have better luck with Fedora Core 1 (FC1) or Fedora Core 2
(FC2).  They both have support for several ATA controllers without the
need for an additional driver disk.  FC2 has more support than FC1, but
they're both free AND actively supported.
