I'm installing on a Dell (Optiplex GX270) so I decided to install with
Scott Kveton's Dell Debian Install disk instead (from
http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/LNX/Debian+on+Dell+Servers) which has
the libata compiled in with the 2.4.25 kernel, thus the SATA is
/dev/sda. So the upgrade to kernel 2.6.6 did not present any problem.
I put some rough notes on
http://survivor.sarovar.org/Dell_Optiplex.html.
Haven't had any response regarding migrating from /dev/hda to
/dev/sda for the SATA.
