SATA and dell 9100



Hi,
 
My new dell 9100 comes with SATA drive. I was only able to install linux after i changed the BIOS setting to some sort of
IDE emulation. Right now when i have /dev/hda style devices.
 
I assume that i can change and support SATA in the 2.6.10 kernel. But not sure what and how.
 But will the change from /dev/hda style to /dev/sda work? or does this mean a new install.
 
I have read about updating GRUB and fstab files. I don't want to make my install useless.
