What can i do to make SATA work on SUSE LINUX 9.0?

Pray for a miracle.
As discussed all over these forums.
LINUX+SATA=NO

Sata was introduced into the 2.6 kernels and as backpatching into the 2.4 series. You cant install a linux distro without either installing it to another drive, patching/updating the kernel and copying it over. Or, picking a distro and method to compile a custom boot iso with a sata compatible kernel.
