2950/Perc 6i/SATA running Centos 5

The card doesn't support SATA drives unless they are SATAII, so if they
came shipped to you from Dell. They will work.

I just got a 2950 III in with a Perc 6i Integrated Controller, and an 
array of SATA drives. I haven't loaded the OS yet - I've been reading 
and trying to get all the driver disks lined up, etc. I've read in a 
couple places that the RHEL 5 driver for the Perc 6i won't support SATA 
drives - that they have to be SATAII or SAS? Can anyone either confirm 
or deny this and set my mind at ease?

Many Thanks,

Tom
