[ale] Mixing SATA and IDE?

[Chris Coleman]

Dow,

I'm ordering a Dell 370 with a 40g IDE and two 250G SATA disks with RH WS 3
installed. So I'm assuming it should work.

That doesn't work since there is no module to mount the drive.  I have to
provide that.  I just wondered if mixing SATA and IDE was not going to work.
Dell wouldn't sell a mixed machine so when it didn't have the module needed
then I wondered.  Just checking before I go to the trouble.

Just plug in the IDE drive, and the kernel will see it?  That's what I have 
running on my Dell Precision 340.
