You don't do anything wrong, no it's not a bug, it's a feature ;-))
the kernel used on yhe installer CD does not support ATA100.
you have to move your disk on the ATA66 bus bus, and everything will go
smoothly.

note that the new BenH kernel branch supports the ATA 100 bus, and you
can plug a disk to the ATA 100 bus abd use it (35/45 Mb/sec)

but BenH recommend to not use the disk for important datas (as the whole
system is)
