Does CentOS 4 work well with SATA drives? Or should I build the system using IDE/PATA disks? I'm looking for stability more than speed. Thanks Charles L.

Some hardware are not recognized automatically, so that you must use a floppy disk driver in CentOS installation (correct me if I'm wrong), but I have only heard about that (never happened to me). Some hardware are just not compatible with CentOS. I guess most are compatible. Mine is SATA2 on chipset from ICH7 family (motherboard Intel 945GNT), and CentOS installation chose the driver/module ata_piix for it. Just worked out of the box. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20070310/50b59a8f/attachment.html>
My HP DL142G2 with SATA drives worked fine.
