I am struggling a bit with my Intel DG965SS motherboard, in getting

SATA and I am accessing these fine).
I just went through an install on a DG965WH, which uses the same Marvell
chip. It was a royal PITA as the CD and disk were both PATA. Ended up
booting the installer via the net.
I have just built (using kernel-package) a version of linux 2.6.19 -
because as far as I can see from the debian-release mailing list there
is a reluctance to push it through the system with Etch not yet
released, but for me its essential in that this version of the linux is
the first to support the Agpgart module for my motherboard and without
it I can't get X to run. I used the standard debian .config file and
all the newer devices are included as modules. In particular the piix
module - which is supposedly the module required to support the IDE
channel on this motherboard.
You need pata_marvell or a patch to ide_generic. The pata_marvell
module was added after the 2.6.19 release.
You can have my kernel if you like:

I compiled it with the new ata support, so all disks show up via the
SCSI layer.
