However, the daily build of the installer, which uses 2.6.14 kernel (vs 2.6.12 in beta 1) was able to detect the drive. An additional peculiarity was that every other 2.6.12 kernel could detect the HD; in particular, the 2.6.12 kernel that is installed by the daily builds (if you go with the defaults and pull from testing) seems to be OK. There have also been various notes on this list about Dell hardware being a little dicey for the installer. My machine is from OmniPro. Summary: Try the daily builds of the installer.
