Perhaps solved by including sata drivers in initrd?

Sure, this is a no-brainer: Just base Skolelinux on something else than
Debian and whatever stupid(?) policies Debian choose to follow is
irrelevant for Skolelinux.

never part of an official release).
Until Skolelinux changes its current goal of becoming a CDD, it _is_ a
big deal.
