I usually do a search on google for 'linux hardware/model#. A large majority of the time my answer is found on the first few returned hits. Give it a shot.

if you don't know the model try lspci -v and check.
if not work try to update de pciids database at http://pciids.sourceforge.net/
the go to /usr/src/linux-[version] and make xconfig and in ATA/IDE... check for it...
if is not mentioned try to search google for model and linux.
