Have you tried the 2.6 kernel as well as the default kernel (type linux26 at the start of the installation) ?

It is also possible that you have a currently unsupported SATA drive (by the prebuilt kernels, at least). You may wish to have a look at http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html and http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerFAQ for more info.

Cheers,

mj

I've got similar problem with debian - the installer don't see the sata hard drives. I've tried kernels 2.6.8 and 2.6.11 but it still doesn't work. The hard drives(I've got two) are in raid 0. Similar situation happens with fedora core 4, solaris 10. However knoppix do see the partition and can read from them. I've got Gygabyte 8TRS3500MT motherboard, with southbridge ATI IXP 300.
