Because I guess I cannot figure out which module handles the new Powerbook's SATA hard drive.
PowerBooks don't have SATA drives.
Right. I meant whatever that new ATA controller is. It occurred to me that I had misspoke as soon as I sent that message. I had a difficult time installing Debian due to lack of ATA 100 support in older methods until I just tried the Debian net install which worked perfectly.

In general, this reminds me that I want to also ask: what are the best ways to identify all one's hardware and to figure out which kernel modules go with them? I know how to do
lspci
lsusb
and to look at /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages
each of which provides good info on most of the hardware, but what else can I do to tune my kernel to exactly my hardware?
