Excellent.

In the next release, I will enable local and IO APIC in the 386 flavour.
This should resolve the ICH5/SATA hang.

Unfortunately, this may also cause hangs for a minority of older machines.
Could debian-installer please document the noapic and nolapic options
should that be necessary.

It would also be good to receive dmi information from such machines so
that they can be black listed.

Cheers,
