[CentOS] Hot swap SATA?

> Ok, run a 'lspci' and see if it lists two controllers.

Yup, it does:

# lspci | fgrep IDE
00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) 4 port  
SATA IDE Controller (rev 02)
00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) 2 port  
SATA IDE Controller (rev 02)

That definitely settles it.  We now return you to your regularly  
scheduled topic...

Thanks,
