This is indeed a SATA drive.

What's more frusterating is  that I have decent disk performance with
the stock 2.6.12 FC4 kernel, but not with the Planet 2.6.13 FC4 kernel.

I've started analyzing patches, but that will take me a while.

The motherboard is whatever is within this Dell Precision M70 laptop.

Thanks.
