Comments/Problems:
Not really surprised, my serial ata chipset is supported only from 2.6.6-rc1
of linux kernel with sata-sis lkm.
I cannot choose ata emulation on bios with this chipset, but in my situation
is not necessary as drives under my previously installed debian (using an old
PATA drives that I have no more, and then moving to SATA drives) with 2.6.6
are reported as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, I remember when I had another
motherboard with sata-via chip and emulation on they where /dev/hde
and /dev/hdg.
So I tried to rebuild the boot with kernel 2.6.6-1-386 and kernel-wedge but I
went wrong somewhere...
I think that when 2.6.6-1-386 udebs will be accepted in debian-installer,
sata-sis will be discovered.
Keep on the good work guys.
