Comments/Problems:
At "Detect and mount CD-ROM", MUST remove module
"ata_piix" from list, or the CD-ROM is not detected at
all if this driver is loaded:
ata_piix (Intel Corporation I/O Controller Hub SATA
cc=raid). Note that "CD-ROM" is really DVD-ROM, also
have DVD+RW as 2nd optical drive.
Disk scan for Partitioning finds only external USB2.0
IDE HDD.
Internal SATA HDD is not detected at all.
Adaptec AHA-2930CU SCSI card with attached Jaz-2GB and
ZIP-250 drives is not detected at all (or at least
never mentioned).
Tried expert26, same problems, can never see internal
SATA HDD.
Note: Will try to install on external USB HDD, but I
suspect the device names generated will be wrong.
Will report back on that effort.
Note 2: Latest GParted (0.3.4) LiveCD sees both USB
and SATA HDD's no problem. I may use GParted for
partitioning before install.

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
