If so, then you can mount the device (/dev/sda1?) and monkey around with configs and what not. Both of these will also allow you to use networking services, so you can visit the RedHat site and look for drivers, etc. On POST, you should get a chance to go into your SCSI controller settings, typically ctrl-a, IIRC. Verify the devices, etc. Just some ideas.. Or, you can ship it to me and for a small fee......  Good luck

It is an older Intel setup. The RedHat install go without a hitch. It pre-loads the correct Adaptec driver. I don't really care anymore. RedHat was behind in developing a SATA kernel as well.
I learned Linux from the first version of Patrick's compilation. I still think it is the best, albeit lacking the easy install of some of the other distro's. SW is also great for booting dead systems. It is what I have been using all day. I can mount the volumes without problem with SW.
Slackware goes on when the new drives arrive. I'd rather give my money to Patrick anyday and I do. I don't always upgrade my systems to the new versions, but I enjoy receiving them every six months or so and they look really good all lined up on a shelf.
