I have the same board, and the promise controller is NOT supported by
2.6.8. It is supported in 2.6.12 so you can either use the 2.6.12 based
installer that I maintain for sarge amd64, or you can install using the
via sata controller and upgrade the kernel and then use the promise
controller.
If you want to try that look here:

It is the actual board I used to develop my updated version of the
installer using a WD SATA drive on the promise controller.
I do not remember if I had to manually (from console 2) modprobe
sata_promise before detecting the disk. With a number of new
controllers you have to (since I didn't update the discover data yet)
