Hi,
   I got the DX5150 up and running today, thanks all for your help!
   This is how I did it:

   Booted into expert mode with Len Sorensens sarge ISO, modprobed ahci,
   sata_sil and sd_mod. By now it sees the disk. Loaded ide-cd and
   ide-generic and it sees the cdrom. Those weren't loaded automagically 
   and that's probably why the installer hung (I think). Switch back to the
   installer and continue as usual. No problems at all, except for some
   trouble with XFree, it couldn't detect the graphics card, so I had to
   use the vesa driver. I works for me.

   Again, thanks all.

   Andreas
