Same problems here with Dell inspiron 9300 see Bug#344268. I think that we need to add the line 'options libata atapi_enabled=1' to /etc/modprobe.conf in the initrd image of the debian-installer. May debian-installer developers kindly add this line for the upcoming Etch Beta2 release? For more info see http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux#No_DMA_on_DVD_drive The reason seems to be that boot parameter 'libata.atapi_enabled=1' only works if libata is built into the kernel (not as a module). I tried to rebuild the iso image with the modified initrd with no luck (kernel panic: can't find /init), so I'm pretty sure I'm missing something creating the initrd. TIA.
