We have seen several reports with this issue, but as no one on the d-i team has access to this hardware it has been kind of elusive. There are just to many variables in SATA support (different drivers, BIOS settings, kernel config, ...). Your summary is the best I've seen so far. Thanks for the work you have done on this. You are correct however that we won't be able to do much about this for the first release of Sarge: kernel config is frozen and also everything in the installer's initrds. However, IMO this issue could be something that we could try to fix in a point release. If you receive any relevant info from the kernel mailing list, could you please add that (or links) to the bug report you filed? TIA, Frans Pop
