The kernel versions that shipped with Sarge are known to have very limited 
Sata support. Therefore it is no surprise that your installation failed.

Please try again with the installer for Etch [1], which is soon to be 
released. If you really require Sarge, you could consider this 
*unofficial and unsupported* Sarge installer [1] that has a backported 
kernel and some related packages.

Closing this report as lack of support for Sata-based systems is a known 
issue. Feel free to file a new report after trying with the Etch 
installer.

Cheers,
FJP
