installing redhat 7.2 on a SATA drive

[matt rosenthal2]

Hi all,
I recently purchased a powerful new dell with RH enterprise installed
on a SATA drive.  I need to use this computer to run some cadence
programs and they will only run on RH 7.2(I've tried several other
version of RH with no luck).

Now here is the problem.  I can not install and run RH 7.2 on the SATA
drive because the kernel(2.4.?) that comes with my RH 7.2 disks does
not support SATA.  The dell does not have any legacy mode to support
the SATA drives over PATA so I can not install and then upgrade the
kernel.  Is there a way to create RH 7.2 install disks with the 2.6
kernel or can anyone help me out otherwise?

Thanks

Matt
