Comments/Problems:
As mentioned above, needed unofficial kernel patch to get SATA to work

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
     and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Initial install for x86_64 imo should be unstable, rather than
testing, because testing is missing alot of
usefull packages. Would be nice if it was alot easier to put a custom
kernel on the bootable cdrom, and
also choose from grub or lilo as your default boot loader. I swiched
to Lilo out of frustration when moving
my install from hda1 to sda1. Oh, and really like the disk
partitioning system, with the ability to create
LVM and RAID volumes without needing a minimal install on another disk
and then create and migrate to the
RAID partition.

Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
Once you have filled out this report, mail it to submit@bugs.debian.org.

Given d-i is basically some kernel image with a bunch of extra modules
to be loaded on the fly when needed, I'm pretty dubious it would be
easily feasible to offer using another kernel. Rebuilding d-i with that
other kernel would probably be the easiest way.

So closing this bug report for now.
