Current 2.6 kernels access SATA drives as scsi since that is what they
are more similar to. The old ide style drivers for SATA didn't work so
well and are no longer maintained as far as I know.
scsi access is the fugure way for SATA, so get used to it.
2.6.8 used on many of Debian's installer discs unfortunately fails to
find many SATA controllers that 2.6.10 finds just fine. Not sure what
the current recomendation is for getting around that problem. Check the
list archives for more info on this.
