Unfortunately SATA is not very well supported by the kernel included in Sarge (2.6.8). Good SATA support was only implemented around 2.6.12 and some parts of it (like SATA ATAPI CD/DVD support) are still being worked on. At the moment there are two options you could consider: - use the Beta2 installation CD images on [1] and install Etch - use an unofficial image created by Kenshi Muto [2] which has more recent kernels and related software backported for Sarge and install Sarge With the last option you can still use the 14 CDs you have as a package repository.
