Boot in expert mode, run through the first menu steps, stop before entering the partitioning menu, switch to another console, and try to manually load sata_sil ("modprobe sata_sil"). Then go back to the installer, and check whether your disk is displayed by the partitioner. Later, when your kernel is going to be installed, mkinitrd should recognize that sata_sil has been loaded to manage your boot partition. It will add sata_sil to the initrd.img automatically. You should post the pci id and the vendor string of your sata device on the debian-boot mailing list. Good luck Harri
