Installer crashes when detecting HD on sata_via

Bug Description

My primary hard disk located on the master channel of my sata_via (motherboard A8V Deluxe) is a 250gb.

It gets detected but when I try to change manually it's partition table using the installer the next windows appears all grey with nothing in it except previous and next. When clicking directly onto the next button the installer crashes.

I presume the latest fixes of libata which will be included into 2.6.17 would greatly help... In my case the fix for my ATAPI Plextor DVD writer would be a really great addin to the kernel (http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=278654541017bc93befe3570edeabd5d9e95e4ea)

Here is my boot info (not that I had disconnected my SATA Plextor DVD writer else sometimes it would crash):
