Just tried the newest installer daily build (with 2.4.24 kernel) and it gets through the ide-detect portion without any trouble. I can do everything other than bringing up the network interface. The only other trouble I noticed is that the aboot.conf that is generated doesn't point to the proper location of my root filesystem. The installer kept going back to the "configure network" option even though I couldn't bring the network up, so it may be a case where I did something out of order. I did not repartition. I did reformat my old partitions with the root as the A partition.
Anyway, my original problem is fixed. As far as the nic problem goes, it's something that will have to be fixed in the kernel. This thread is illuminating: http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2004/debian-alpha-200401/msg00052.html Hopefully a working 2.6 or 2.4 kernel will be released before Sarge is.
