Package: debian-installer
Version: RC3
Severity: normal

the ata_piix kernel module blocks the PATA part of the chipset
but doesn't support the PATA devices.
Therefore installation fails on my Dell server (CD-ROM is on PATA,
HD is on SATA).
Loading ide_generic before ata_piix works around that problem.
For more details, take a look at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/04/msg00128.html where I
originally tried to report this problem. Also see my followup to my
initial post.
