I am running Red Hat Linux version 4.1, with kernel version 2.0.27. I have an EIDE hard drive (not sure of company). The system has a PCI bus, with plug-and-play (doesn't seem relevent, but who knows). If it helps, the computuer is a Dell Dimension XPS Pro200n. If you need more info (seems likely, I haven't had time to open up the computer) let me know.
