The 2.4 kernel will recognize the HPT366/370 chipset that this motherboard
uses, and there are patches for the 2.2.x kernel.  However, if you're
trying to install Redhat to a drive connected to this channel, you'll need
to enable the ide2 &ide3 channels without adding the support first.

Take a look at this mini-HOWTO, especially the section titled "Enabling
HPT366 without UDMA/66 support":
