Loading ide-cd in there is generally a good idea, otherwise anything that tries to access the cd thorugh scsi first might make it load ide-scsi. ide-generic may also be needed. > hmm.. root is /dev/sda5 (in the normal case).

Yes that should be sata. That is what I use on my nforce2 board. > libata > sata_nv Looks reasonable. On the nforce2 my /etc/mkinitrd/modules contains just: ide-cd That's it.

Try adding ide-cd and ide-generic to /etc/modules to make sure they load early in boot. Maybe that will fix it (that is I believe how the debian installer tends to set it up by default).
