IIRC, the installer allows you to switch to a VT and run lsmod. Check
which pata module is used, try to blacklist it if it is the wrong one.
Check "modinfo pata_marvell" to see if that one is available. If I am
not mistaken, running the installer in expert mode lets you select which
modules will and will not get loaded, or you can try the
module_name.blacklist=yes boot parameter to avoid loading problematic
modules.

There are two devices with that name in the pci.ids table, one with the
numerical IDs [1969:1026] and the other with [1969:1048]. Which one do
you have? Check with "lspci -nn", or even better, "lspci -knn" on the
Ubuntu system to see which driver it uses. It should be either atl1e or
atl1. Try to modprobe the correct one with the Debian installer and
check dmesg for errors.
