You may need to recompile your kernel to include SATA support. I'm running on Debian with a self-compiled kernel and SATA support enabled. It works great.

Recent 2.4.x kernels have SATA modules included (but not compiled by default). They may not be available in your RH9 stock kernel. If recompiling the kernel is not comfortable to you, then reinstall your system. Maybe, upgrade to Fedora Core 2 or 3. They should have SATA support compiled builtin the kernel (I think). Even if that doesn't, the kernel version is recent enough that recompiling it will give you a higher chance to succeed.

To the best of my knowledge, the "legacy" mode in the BIOS only matters for drive numbering related issues with OSes like DOS. Still, the OS needs to recognize the drive to use it (Windows 2000 didn't support SATA drives at all so I was forced to upgrade to Wind Blows XP :-( )
