Bug#313328: installation-reports: hang trying to access SATA drive attached thru VIA VT8237
Package: installation-reports
Debian-installer-version: debian-31r0a-i386-binary-1.iso (MD5 sum OK)

Method: Boot from DVD
Machine: VIA KT600 + VT8237 (MSI KT6 Delta FISR)
Processor: Athlon XP 2800+
Memory: 1GB
Root Device: SATA (ST3160023AS)

Comments/Problems:
Disabling the SATA drive in BIOS cures the hang,
and make device detection much faster;
but of course then the SATA drive is unavaible.
Another PATA drive (ST380021A) is attached.
Problem duplicated on a sister machine.
