Boot in expert mode, run through the first menu steps, stop
before entering the partitioning menu, switch to another
console, and try to manually load sata_sil ("modprobe sata_sil").
Then go back to the installer, and check whether your disk is
displayed by the partitioner.
Later, when your kernel is going to be installed, mkinitrd
should recognize that sata_sil has been loaded to manage
your boot partition. It will add sata_sil to the initrd.img
automatically.
You should post the pci id and the vendor string of your
sata device on the debian-boot mailing list.
Good luck
