Unfortunately it is not possible to use SATA drives with VT8251 based
boards like my ASUS A8V-XE.
Regarding to a thread on viaarena.com it is however possible to patch
prior kernels while full support will be included upstream with 2.6.18:

As far as I know 2.6.18 will not make it into Etch, so only patches to
the Debian kernel (Installer as well) would allow VIA users to install
and use Etch.
I just "patched" the debian sources like described in the thread and my
SATA harddisk works fine now with 2.6.16-2-k7, but as they provide no
"real" patch there, some work is needed here.
Kind regards
Martin Seifert
