Hi,

 I've trided to install debian into PowerEdge SC420 too.
 Now d-i rc2 works well, HDD detection is good.

 Yes, this problem is still existing in daily netinst image...
 
 I've installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Beta into same 
 machine, there is not such strange behavior. And boot with Knoppix,
 2.4 kernel works fine, but boot from 2.6 kernel it stops.
 
 If you know a reason about this strange behavior, please let me know.
