Bug#613822: aditional info
I have just tried installing with the Netinst version in which the
firmware files are included
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/6.0.0/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-6.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso
and in that case the installation DOES work.
There may be something else involved in this as well. On this specific
Dell machine I have the strange behaviour that during installation my Dell
hardware RAID5 array is seens as /dev/sdb. There is also a /dev/sda
present but it seems to have nothing attached. However, after the reboot
when booting from the array it suddenly shows up as /dev/sda with a blank
/dev/sdb.
This did not happen in the past but I must have done something wrong on
the hardware side a while ago as it shows the same behaviour when
installing Debian Etch 4.0r8.
