Comments/Problems:

The net-install cd failed, because it couldn't find the CD-Rom drive.
The usb disk install booted, and found the daily iso on the drive, but
neither could detect any disk drives (except the USB drive).  I used
today's d-i build for both installs, with no success.  I believe that
the ICH8 controller needs 2.6.18 to work.  Any idea when d-i will be
available with 2.6.18?

Thanks,
Jason Martens

I know that the ICH8 SATA drivers were added in 2.6.18, as I got this
box installed using debootstrap and a kanotix live cd (which has
2.6.18).  After installing the base system with at 2.6.18 kernel, I was
able to boot the box with the stock debian 2.6.18 kernel.  So, I can't
remember right now exactly which module it is, but this is basically a
"please add the 2.6.18 kernel to d-i" request.  Or, backport the Intel
ICH8 SATA drivers...

   I believe I should not be joking about other persons believe.


I believe this bugreport is about the kernel not knowning which kernel module
to use or no kernel module (yet?) available.

If I had the Optiplex at hand,
I would go to VT2 and `modprobe` various SATA kernel modules.

Please restart the debian-installer and `modprobe ahci`
and report back if d-i does see the disks.
(no need to repartition nor re-install your computer)

That test is import. (it is not unknown when 2.6.18 goes in d-i)

I tried again with they most recent d-i daily snapshot of the hd-media
(and netinstall.iso).  I ran "modprobe ahci", but it still did not
detect the sata disks.

That is expected as the installer has not yet switched to 2.6.18. At this 
time it is uncertain when exactly we will do so, but it should certainly 
be within the next month.
Suggest you keep your eyes open for announcements.

In my opinion can the original poster do more then WAITing.
He should confirm that the working system has the ahci kernel module
loaded. If not, then should be research which is the right module
for the ICH8 SATA controller (and reported back)

I did confirm that the ahci kernel was loaded, as I state above.  As for
which driver it needs, I believe that it is the ata_piix driver. See the
2.6.18 kernel changelog[1] which contains this:

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.


Cheers
Geert Stappers
(leaving this BR open until 2.6.18 comes in d-i)
