[luau] ultra ata 100 okay?

[tom_gordon at notes.k12.hi.us]

knowing the make & model of your current controller will be plenty enough 
to answer that question.  that can be found out by knowing the make & 
model of the motherboard, if it is integrated.  and that can be found out 
by writing down the numbers on the boot init /mem test screen and googling 
it.

you also won't be getting the same kind of performance as you would in 
windows becuase RH9 uses concervative settings (compared to windows) so 
tweaking hdparms in single-user mode is a must.  google is your friend 
there too.

i hope this helps

I'm trying to figure out if this western digital 175GB
7200rpm ultra ata/100 hard drive will work in my linux
system.

I went to redhat and looked for their HCLs, since I am
running RH9, but I don't find anything about western
digital when I search. This is a bit suspicious that
none of their drives would be listed.

Anyhow, it has a special pci controller card & warns
all the windows people to load the drivers.

What should I do to find out?
