The following installation report was posted to debian-boot, and,
according to my records, never followed up on. I am putting it in the
BTS so it will not be lost.

Hi,
I'll include a few details in the template below, but just a "quickie" summary--the installer as of today doesn't like SATA any more than anyone else's Linux installer. I'm hoping (perhaps against hope?) to find an installer that'll accept my Intel D865PERL board with a SATA drive; this one hangs at the 80% mark while the installer is loading the "ide-detect" module.
If I put the BIOS in "Legacy" mode where the SATA interface just looks like legacy IDE the installer passes this point just fine; however, I have the SATA drive plus 3 regular ATA devices so I really don't want to install in Legacy mode and have to cut out one of the regular IDE ports.
Is there any chance that SATA support will be built into your installer any time soon?
Regards,
Dan
