Since the last beta of debian-installer was released, a large number
of changes related to SATA have been made. In particular, we now ship
a 2.4.26 kernel with (some) SATA support. We're currently preparing a
new test release of debian-installer (release candidate 1), and we'd
appreciate it if you could try our daily image and tell us whether
this works. This will give us some time to make important changes if
so requires before rc1 is released. You can find current images at
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/
We'd appreciate it if you could test this image and tell us if the
issues you mentioned in your bug report have been dealt with, and in
particular whether your SATA disks are recognized and work. You can
either boot normally (by pressing enter or typing "linux") and will
get a 2.4.26 kernel with SATA, or you can type "linux26" and get a 2.6
kernel; both should work, and we'd appreciate feedback about both of
them. Thanks

Can you check if this has been fixed?
