It uses the same kernel as RHEL uses. Generic in the sense that it
includes exactly what RHEL included in their shipping kernel.
CentOS 3.3 (same as RHEL 3 U3) has some SATA support for boot/install
devices. I believe older versions had SATA support, but not for it as
the boot device.
The CentOS kernel includes all 2.6.x backports supplied by RH.
RHEL 4 is a VERY early beta right now. As far as I know CentOS plans to
have a RHEL 4 clone available. It's plenty early right now as RHEL 4 is
6+ months from anything resembling a production release.
