In order to clarify the new goal of this bug I am making a note to help the maintainer of this package.
The chipset MCP89 manufactured by Apple in their 2010s laptops and designed by nvidia was not properly recognized by the current squeeze kernel, resulting in failure to detect any ata devices on the system. Models using MCP89: Macbook 6,1 Macbook Pro 7,1 Macbook Air 3,1 Macbook Air 3,2 and maybe others, especially in the future. Hence, upstream kernel developers created patches using the module ata_generic to detect the devices, then force them to support DMA. Debian kernel maintainers applied this two patch to the current kernel successfully ([http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.32-28/changelog|since 2.6.32-27]). However D-I installation process involves kernel-wedge and linux-kernel-di. They do not allow the detection of the ata devices at the moment. This result to the impossibility in installing debian using the net-install CD. [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605325|Bug#605325] include a patch that add ata_generic detection to kernel-wedge.
