Success report. Hitachi 7k500 SATA hard drive Intel Pentium D 820 CPU ASUS P5WD2 Premium Edition motherboard
I found that Ubuntu can install to the SATA drive but Debian Sarge cannot. I've used all sorts of remastered installers, including a 2.6.11 AMD64 version. The problem was not detecting the disk, and was eventually solved by manually finding and doing an insmod on the ata_piix module (on the 2.6.11 remastered installer). Hope this is helpful.
