Well, if its non-ATA you won't be able to plug the drive in (eg SCSI, 
MFM, RLL). If you mean its not ATA-33/66/100/133 and doesn't use 
80-conductor cables, thats a non-issue.

However, you will probably need to boot from a floppy disk and run 
LILO/GRUB from there to get a bootable system, as the BIOS disk mapping 
will quite likely change.

Oh, and make sure you have the i686 kernel set as the default to boot, 
not one for athlon or athlon-xp unless you like the look of kernel panics.
