What could make a difference is the order in which ide-generic and ata_piix are loaded. You can try starting d-i in expert mode and loading only drivers needed for generic CD support after language/keyboard selection. The SATA driver should be loaded automatically later.

Maybe > ata_piix in d-i is diferent to Ubuntu?. I think Ubuntu has a few kernel configuration options that IIRC are listed as experimental enabled that Debian does not. Basically, SATA kernel drivers are not mature yet. Support is improving quite fast, but we are aware that that does not really help users _now_. However, there is not very much we can do about it in the installer itself. Thanks for your thourough report. Cheers, FJP
