You mean Debian installer was not able to detect your hard disk?

Installer dmesg logs can be accessed at one tty (I never remember where
exactly, tty4 or tty6), maybe you can try that to see what's going on.
Anyway, I would start over the installalation process.

Mmm, does that mean you already were able to install Debian?
As per reportbug, you can manually configure it to customize your e-mail
server settings.

Mmm... it seems there are two set of controllers, the first one with pure
IDE and the latter with some kind of SATA-IDE emulation.
I guess you have connected the hard disk to the IDE port, right? Or is
that the optical DVD/CD? OTOH, Slackware seems to load "AMD_IDE" kernel
module for the IDE port, but I'm not sure if Debian use the same
module :-?
