As far as I know SATA support wasn't included in the Kernel until
after Sarge became stable, so it was never included in Sarge's
repositories.
If you're trying to install Debian on a SATA disk your best bet is
Etch, installing Sarge would be way too much trouble (You'd probably
have to do a lot of work), and in a few months it will become old
stable anyway (With Etch being the new stable).
