Can you describe the "SATA2SCSI" hardware RAID a bit more? Is it a
controller card to which you can plug SATA IDE drives and the controller
appears as SCSI to the system? So the controller card certainly needs
driver support. Didn't you ask Starline before buying that hardware
whether it is Linux prepared? What does Starline say is the correct SCSI
kernel driver module for the card?
