Comments/Problems:

The installers were unable to detect a Samsung 160 GB SATA drive. I tried all SATA modules the installer offered, but none worked. Windows XP SP2 detected the drive and installed without a hitch.

Ah, it must have been added after 2.6.18-rc5 then, which is the version I 
checked.
As the kernel supports it, the installer will too as soon as we switch to 
2.6.18 (which may take another month or so).

In the mean time you can try loading the sata-via module manually from 
VT2. Note that you will also have to make sure it is included in the 
initrd for the installed system.
