I booted with netboot images from here: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
- The 2.4 images didnt recognized the two serial ata discs until i manually "modprobe sata_sis" and retried, then the installation went fine on /dev/sdb1 (opposed to /dev/hdb in my current working 2.6 unstable installation). - The 2.6 image required me to change ramdisk_size=8192 from grub pxe boot entry. I've tried ramdisk_size=16384 and worked. - The 2.6 image hung (hanged?) on ide detecting: (translated from italian) "84% loading module 'ide-disk' for 'Linux ATA DISK'", changing console I saw with ps -ax the process "modprobe -v ide_disk" as dead. I Didn't tried other ways yet.
