Hi,

I'm testing the beta3 of debian installer. I'm using a MSI KT6 Delta basesd on VIAKT600 chipset with VIA VT8237 chipset for raid and SATA.
The debian installer don't detect any hdd, and the bios do it.
I need to put the module manually? How?
   

There exists a patch that should hopefully fix your problem.
Pleae check that patch adds support for your controller.
It seems to be added as vendor='1106' model='3149'.  Output of
lspci and lspci -n would be nice.
See debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=244470

it's out of topic, but I just had the same problem  with an amd64 
machine,  and I was thinking
why the installer doesn't warn the user when it boots into a system that 
it cannot find
a hard disk for installation?  I know experienced users can surely find 
out why, but what
about more novice users ?
