RHEL4 update 4 was released in August 2006, and CentOS 4.4 is derived 
from that..   You haven't run yum update since august 2006?!?   update 7 
aka 4.7 was released on July 2008, and there have been 100s of patches 
since then.

eSATA was still pretty new and relatively untested and undeveloped in 
2006, I'd expect a current update to have somewhat more support.
