   libata uses <filename>/dev/sda</filename> for the first harddisk instead of
   <filename>/dev/hda</filename>.  Disks with more than 15 partitions are not
   handled automatically right now.
   To enable support for more than 15 partitions, please switch to a virtual
   console before the partitioner starts and issue the command:

   <screen>activate_dm_linear /dev/sdX</screen>

   where <filename>/dev/sdX</filename> has to be replaced with the device
   node of the disk in question.
   This command will create device-mapper devices for the disk and each
   partition, so the system can installed on the device-mapper devices.

   Alternatively you can disable libata support by booting with the
   following kernel parameters:</para>
