You say it's a new(er) machine, and knowing that Debian doesn't
release all that often...
I'd guess that your controller/drive is SATA and that that version of
Debian doesn't do SATA.

Well, at your advice, I just tried to install Debian 3.1r2 (sarge I

which seems unnecessary, but I could overlook that. But when it
failed to detect that I have a hard disk in the computer, I had didn't
know how to overcome that. Fedora did fine with it.
After it faild to find the disk, debian takes me to a list of the
installation process. I backed up one step to "detect hardware". It
first loads up floppy modules, but then complains about missing
modules that look like they should be for my hard disk.
Anyway, I had heard that debian was essentially the same as knoppix,
which typically can get almost anything up and running. This is a
relatively new Dell desktop: model DCSM. I'm not sure how to tell
what my Fedora is doing successfully that Debian isn't.
I'm open to ideas, but I think I may stay with this working Fedora 5.

problems with it being too bleeding edge for a critical server.
Also, the
updating was not as nice predictable as for a Debian based
distribution.

happier to find dependencies and download them with 1 prompt.
