have you been playing with that *evil* option LBA in the BIOS again? If
so then nasty stuff starts to happen. Leave it either off or on, but
then *never* change it again. Whilst you are in the BIOS turn off PNP OS.
:)
If you still run into problems type (as root) in a console (in the debian
install screen press Ctrl-Alt-F2)
fdisk /dev/hda
then delete *everything*, return to the debian install menu (Ctrl-Alt-F1)
and continue as normal. Hopefully that will work :)
