Because the is no IDE module with the name 'IDE-modules' Valid names for IDE modules can found in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/ide/pci/ > lsmod shows that ide_core is the only ide_* module loaded at this point. > > Then I let hardware detection run.

No worries. A late response is still beter then NO response. For the best results I suggest to use debian-installer with the 2.6.18 kernel.
