I've tried the daily alternate CD for today (11th October) and my drive attached to the ICH8 wasn't recognised. I'm guessing the fix hasn't made it into the installer's kernel. I would try the live CD (I usually have better luck with it (touch wood ;) as I think it has more up to date packages) but the last build was 09/10, that's before the fix was added to the kernel :(
