HD Install :: SATA install

If you are attempting to use dsl-2.1x with sata drives, you also need to use the boot parameter 'sata'

Well, after my Asus A8N5X did not install DSL on my WD320KS, I've decided to drop SATA and go with my WD320JB.

I did not see your reply roberts before I replied. So when you are suppose to hit enter to boot, you type "sata" and then enter? Correct?

just fyi, they are not actually scsi, besides using its subsystem sdxx is just a naming convention used in general for sata, scsi, usb, etc.

I think you may have to boot with "dsl sata" [enter]

At the very first boot prompt instead of pressing enter:

boot: dsl sata

Beaware that v2.x is no longer supported. When I made that version we lost much support for older hardware, which is our base.
