by 'installer' do you mean the boot parms ?

I keep seeing references to the 'libpata' module having issues
I had similar issues (what is your hardware?) which I finally solved by
telling the installer which modules to load instead of relying on the
probe. I also have to use the 'noirqdebug' because of irq problems with
my motherboard bios.
Try appending the following to your install line:
module=ata_piix module=pata_jmicron module=ata_generic noirqdebug
and:
noirqdebug
to the kernel line in grub.
