Yup, that worked great! But in addition to the sata driver, I also had to add scsi_mod and sd_mod. Works great now, only I had to change the fstab to use sda instead of hde. So in case I want to boot the install kernel again, I am screwed, or is there a way to use a specific fstab depending on your kernel-version? But then the netinstall CDs do not provide the resue option anymore AFAIK, I might not need the install kernel anymore.
In RedHat I have seen config lines in fstab like LABEL=root / ext3 defaults 0 1 or something similar. If you label your root partition "root", then it shouldn't matter whether its /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1. Debian's man page for fstab says its supported, but I haven't tried it. Good luck Harri
