modprobe ahci should probably have been enough. insmod is a bit of a
pain to use manually.
Hmm, I wonder what I would have to do to make that part work
automatically.
I assume this is after you changed the bios back to ahci mode rather
than compatibility mode.

OK, I will try and see which of those IDs is the AHCI controller.

A few people asked about I2O support. Hopefully someone will test it.

Does your system use PCI express? If so it is quite possible you have
one of the PCIe Yukon chips. Well as long as it works for you I guess
it doesn't matter how it is connected.

I will probably move it to a server with more bandwidth first. :)

There are installer images for testing/unstable at least as far as I can
tell on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ or at least it has
things with amd64 in the name. I haven't tried one of those in a few
months.
Of course it appears sarge doesn't use kernel wedge from May, but rather
an earlier one which is what I have been trying to stick to to be as
compatible with sarge amd64 as possible.
