Could you be more specific on what Linux distro and version that you have? If you are speaking of RedHat 9 or SuSE 9, then these versions are older and do not have support for sata drives.
 
If this is the case, I suggest that you use a new version of the distro which have sata support. For example, Fedora 8 or 9 is installed on my three systems with sata with no problem.
