Comments/Problems:
The Silicon Image SiI 3512 wasn't detected by the installer. But after a
'modprobe sata_sil' the hard disk detection works.
But random crashes occur by hard disk access. So, formatting some
partitions causes a system hang-up.
(Note: The sata_sil driver on the gentoo live CD 2004.1-amd64 works fine
for me!)
Another issue: Menus of the d-i displayed disturbed. I think, I've
tested a unlucky daily build.
