RedHat 8 (kernel 2.4.18) doesn't support SATA by default. You have to upgrade to a newer kernel (www.kernel.org) which does support SATA.

.. continuing ... But given that RH8 is over 3 years old, and horribly buggy, why even use it at all?

Download a recent version of Fedora Core (4 was released last week, I'm using it here quite happily), and use that. You should have no compatability issues out of the box.

Or are you trying to use the old distribution for a particular reason?
