I had no problems with the SATA on my VIA controller during installation two

Could you report the BIOS setting for "Using Plug-and-Play OS?"?
The Plug-and-Play should be set to NO for Linux so the BIOS configures the
disks first.
The "PnP OS" is set to "No". Also, the on-board Promise SATA controller is
disabled. But the problem doesn't seem to arise (at least directly) from
the identification of the disk; the first step in the Debian base system
installation works OK, no problem in partitionin the disks etc. It's only
after the first boot that it fails, freezes.
Of the netinstall images available under
http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/install-images/ now, 2005-01-24 is
broken (claims it can't find any kernel modules on the CD) and the
2004-12-14 does work for the disks, but doesn't work for the NIC...
Have a nice day,
