| Probably not mate, Download one of the fedora versions or Redhats CentOS. They will have the lastest Kernel or one that definitily supports SATA. Also Redhat 8 has problems with some of the dependancies. |

| SATA support was not implemented until the mid 2.6 kernels. |

| The only way you might get it to work is set the sata drives to legacy mode in the bios. I've heard that sometimes works. |
