Help needed for a Sadistic SATA

Hi,

Well I tried with Fedora Core 4, because someone told me that it has boot time support for SATA drives. It hasnt, and I get the same problem as before--the installation simply stops in the middle. Now regarding having the kernel recompiled on another machine, since I dont have access to another machine with Linux on it (at least not ready/easy access),I was thinking whether this approach would work (and if it does, can somebody explain how): I installed VMWare(virtual OS software) on my XP OS giving it the target drive as another partition. I could install RHL 9, without a single hitch on VMWare. Can I recompile the kernel here, write it down on a CD somewhere, and try reinstalling Linux (RHL 9)? Or, better still, RHL 9, during boot time, asks for the relevant HDD driver if it doesnt find any, so perhaps I could copy the respective driver from the VMWare's implementation of the virtual RHL 9, and use it during the installation. Which of these approaches would work (if any would), and can someone detail out how.

Nobody told me SATA would be such a PAIN!!!!
