Bug#237120: Debian Installation Report

Your installation report mentioned that you're using a machine with SATA
disks. Since the last beta of debian-installer was released, a large
number of changes related to SATA have been made. In particular, we now
ship a 2.4.26 kernel with (some) SATA support. We're currently preparing a
new test release of debian-installer (release candidate 1), and we'd
appreciate it if you could try our daily image and tell us whether this
works. This will give us some time to make important changes if so
requires before rc1 is released. You can find current images at
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/
We'd appreciate it if you could test this image and tell us if the issues
you mentioned in your bug report have been dealt with, and in particular
whether your SATA disks are recognized and work. You can either boot
normally (by pressing enter or typing "linux") and will get a 2.4.26 kernel
with SATA, or you can type "linux26" and get a 2.6 kernel; both should
work, and we'd appreciate feedback about both of them. Thanks
You didn't report any problems with SATA last time. Did you use the
drives in legalcy (parallel) mode or in SATA?

Do you still see this problem?

Some language related problems are fixed in the daily images, but I'm
not sure about Czech. Can you check?

LILO should handle this correctly. Can you check if this problem is
still there?
