Thanks for the feedback. I have to admit that 'ahci' as a guess and I was wrong about it. Meanwhile we known that 'ata_piix' is the needed module. (note to myself: don't gamble on modulenames, just ask for it) My research for having the PCI IDs 8086:2820 and 8086:2825 in the file /lib/modules/2.6.18/modules.pcimap was stopped due time constrains. I hope that (the updated) ata_piix will be loaded when 2.6.18 arrives in the debian-installer.
