Comments/Problems:
I think current kernels in Sarge faulty and can't work with IDE devices.
Or/And D-I initrd not contains modules needed for working with IDE devices.
I installed it once (1-2 Dec 2004) by NetBoot,
but it died after i moved and Upgraded from ftp.debian.org repository.
It seems like local mirror was outdated (Israel mirror) and holded working versions,
now it fails to install from too.
