I kept trying for many hours and finally found that workaround: - When prompted for language "Choose this to proceed in English (USA)" (and not later!), switch to console (Alt+F2) - Enter this insmod ide-code insmod ide-disk insmod piix insmod htp366 - Resume normal installation If you insmod piix and htp366 when you really need it "Hard drive not found", then the hard drive is not detected. After you boot a downloaded debian pre-built kernel, you can forget all that. Everything works fine! :) It's a pity it can't be that simple after burning the CD! FYI, I tried to install 2.6.0-test9: htp366 decided to load before piix, so that ide0/ide1 and ide2/ide3 are switched. It doesn't boot... But that's another story... :(
