Hello, would you mind to try with a squeeze beta1 debian-installer? (which is a preview of the next debian-installer version) That installer contains the pata_via module, I have double-checked.
If you don't want a new install on your machine now: There is no need to perform a complete install of debian on the machine, just start the debian-installer, go through the steps and when you reach the step for partitioning the harddrive and your disk is detected - yeah, then everything is fine of course and you can abort the installation at that point, nothing has been changed on your system until that point. You could use this image: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_beta1/i386/iso-cd/debian-squeeze-di-beta1-i386-netinst.iso Since the pata_via module is included on that cd, it is expected, that everything works fine for you with it.
