I've had similar problems with my nVidia 7050/630a chipset and Etch. If I

used the the stock 2.6.18 kernel, the screen filled up with those "Sata

link is down, taking too much time to respond." messages during boottime.



I think I didn't even see a prompt because it took too long to get there.

After installing a newer kernel (2.6.22 in my case), the SATA problems were

gone.



I guess you just need a newer kernel.





Lenny comes with a new version of kernel 2.6.26, so I need to compile for even newer version?
