SATA with 2.4.27 sometimes does work and sometimes does not. You/we may be 
able to get it to work with 2.4, but - as it probably is primarily a 
kernel problem and we are trying to stabilize things for the release of 
Sarge - we usually advise people who have problems with 2.4 to try 
installing using the 2.6 kernel.
You can do this by booting the installer with 'linux26'.
