Sorry for not having clear. The mix of Debconf and very early wake up
does this..:-)

When doing what you describe above, just do the following:

-first go up to the moment the HD detection fails
-switch to VT3 (Alt+F3)
-run "lsmod". Note the list
-modprobe ahci
-note the list (and check differences)
-switch back to VT1 (Alt+F1)
-do what you did (back twice, re-run HW detection)
-as soon as the HD is detected, go back to VT3 and run lsmod again
-check the differences....this should help
