    For redhat it doesnt matter if you run rhel4/5/6 or 32/64bit.
    You pay for a subscription, not for a "genuine copy".

    Technically it seems, that support for your harddisc controller was added beginning with rhes6.
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    32 or 64 bit will have no effect on driver support. Apparently RHEL 6 has a driver for your harddrive controller while RHEL 5 does not. Find out what your controller is, get the driver, and load it during the RHEL 5 install.

    Refer to the RHEL Documentation
